Define Calendar Periods

Use the Periods tab to define more complex sequences for a week, e.g., a long week (6 working days) and short week (4 working days) could be combined within the rhythm.

To enable these complex and more detailed rhythm options (if not available), select Tools > Options > Project tab and check the Advanced calendar interface box; doing so will make the Periods tab (instead of the Week Definition tab) visible in the Calendar dialog.
