Then you can accurately record when the first portion was done, yet leave the remaining work to be scheduled when it fits.

See the attached file for details.
I split a single, four-day task that was 75% done into four, one-day tasks. Three of which were done 100%, and one of which was done 0%.
Yet leveling and rescheduling still leaves them as future tasks.
I'm getting a better hang of this problem. OmniPlan seems to have no way to adjust for tasks that are completed ahead of schedule.
Also, I just noticed something else. The group completion percentage is 75%, which is correct, but the Duration is 1W 2D 6.25H, which I don't understand at all. Attached the sanitized version of my document for your evaluation.
Despite the limitations, I'm liking OmniPlan -- based on my experience with OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner, this will become a kick ass program. Also, I'm not a project manager by profession -- and I have to use SOME project managment tool RIGHT NOW -- and OmniPlan is already less frustrating than FastTrack.
