Shift running schedule

Question

I have an 18 week running schedule that I'd like to be able to re-use multiple times by shifting the entire works throughout various times of the year. Is there any simple/quick way of doing this other than shift/selecting each and every daily event for 18 weeks? I find myself getting halfway through the selection process, and then accidentally missing clicking on an event and then have all my previous selections disappear.

Answer 1

Does the schedule repeat contiguously? In that case the best solution would probably be to turn each even into a repeating event, repeating at 18 weeks (plus any regular delay between schedules):
It's going to be a bore to set up (though at least you won't have the shift-click problem) but once done it will look after itself.
Of course if there's a variable delay before the schedule starts again, then I'm afraid there probably isn't any easy way to accomplish that.
You might like to consider BusyCal, which has a list view where you can click the top of the list and shift-click the bottom of the list to select everything between: I don't know how easy it is to paste this back into different dates (possibly by going back into monthly view) - there is a trial on the website so you could experiment.
