Omitting a range is not possible.  Your kludge is not a good idea;
making the OMIT context "float" can yield surprising behaviour.

If you have resigned yourself to using an IF, then why not simplify it:

IF today() < '2008-02-09' || today() > '2008-02-29'
    REM Tue +4 -1 MSG DS-Hausaufgaben...
    REM Mon +4 -1 MSG Info-Hausaufgaben...
ENDIF

Or you could even get very tricky:

REM Tue +4 -1 SATISFY [trigdate() < '2008-02-09' || trigdate() > '2008-02-29'] MSG ...

Regards,

David.
