Use [trigtime()] instead for %3.  For %2, you'd need to write a function
to convert from 24h to 12h time.  That's left as an exercise for the
reader.

We can't omit the preposition because of the "today/tomorrow" cases.
But with a little work (again left as an exercise) you can write
Remind functions to do what you need.

Regards,

David.
