I'. working on timetable for a school with different times. The times will read like {GR. 4-6} 8:20-8:55 {GR. 7-9} 8:20-9:00. When you generate, the time doesnt appear amazing since it stretches the rows. If there would be columns  that one can put the 4 items differently, the end product would be amazing. Once i have all the times i can go ahead and put tags that will help teachers not collide grade 4-6 and 7-9 since the times are different. My concern is on how the timetables will appear.

SORRY FOR BEING TOO MUCH TODAY

I look forward to smething like
GR. 4-6
8:20-8:55
GR. 7-9
8:20-9:00

This would look descent

OK, we might try to allow a multiple lines name/long name for days and hours. @Volker Dirr , what do you say?

this would be a big thing.We can have school with different times and the outcome be admirable

Liviu Lalescu

I am thinking of adding multiple lines long names for days, hours, subjects, activity tags, teachers, students years, students groups, students subgroups, buildings, and rooms. Is that good for you, Cyrus?

Only for long names.

Cyrus Ireri

if they will serve the purpose,well and good. I hope with multiple lines, what i write in line 2 will not appear in line one.If every statement on its line will remain there, i bet it will have served the purpose.

Liviu Lalescu

Yes, but I prefer to do this only for long names (not names and codes). OK?

Cyrus Ireri

Thats okay.I just make sure the longnames under hours is activated in all my timetables so that the purpose can be met.

Ensure under name,they are on their lines so that they don't mix with longnames details

Cyrus Ireri

As per now, name and long names in the hours mixing. I believe that shouldnt happen

Liviu Lalescu

I really don't understand. You can choose with two check boxes what to display: name, long name, or both; there is another check box: separated by a space or by a new line. Doesn't this work?

Cyrus Ireri

My bad...had not activated it.Sorry

Feel free to go ahead.4-6 lines will be okay

Liviu Lalescu

OK, now I will sleep, because I am tired, and will do this hopefully tomorrow, if Volker agrees with it.

The only other variant is writing the times in the comments and keep the hour name very short like "1st", "2nd", ... only.
I think it is fine to add the suggested feature. I can't see (big) disadvantages.
