Can taskbars jump nonworking time, ie. weekends

[kweimer]

I know I can make the weekend disappear or move it in front of taskbars but
then it shortens the visual effect of the bar. Manually splitting, as I've
been doing, is a kludge. Is there a setting to have tasks split themselves on
Friday afternoon and appear for work on Monday morning, just like I do?

kweimer,
The short answer is "no". The only options Project offers for showing
non-working time is via Format/Timescale/Non-working time tab.

Hi kweimer,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Maybe I'm missing something, but if you right-click in the Gantt Chart area
and select Non-working time to be in front of task bars, doesn't that do
precisely what you're after? I don't know what you mean by "shortens the
visual effect of the bar" as the bar is still there, it just stops for Sat &
Sun.

I'm curious - how would what you're looking for with the task splitting over
the weekend, or your manual work-around, look any different from placing the
weekend vertical grey bars appear in front of the task bars with the
timeline formatting option? In all three cases wouldn't the task bar appear
to the interrupted for the weekend but the total length from task start to
task finish remaining the same?
