Some projects are more chaotic than your assumptions...

[John Schofield]

Many of our tasks are done piece by piece. Many tasks are done at  
varying degrees of completion. Since these tasks are not dependencies  
on each other, this should be fine.
But OmniPlan insists on leveling tasks so that a 75% completed task  
takes up the full 100% space in the gantt chart. As I read this I can  
tell it's not very clear. Let me include a screen-grab.

Task 10 should be auto-leveled so that the UNCOMPLETED portion starts  
when task 9 ends. It's bad in planning if two tasks overlap, but in  
practice if the task is completed there's no harm in it. In order to  
get an accurate picture of how much time is left in the schedule, I  
need to manually move tasks around so that the uncompleted portion  
begins where the previous task ended.

Is there another way of doing this?
