Creating custom intervals is quite easy: suppose you have created your moon
phases at every 28 days then your future phases may be slightly off. Then
you go to the first incorrect phase and drag this instance of the event to
the proper day (or time). After you have done this the programme inquires 
whether the change should apply only to the specific instance dragged, to all 
instances, or to all future instances. If it doesn't apply to all instances
you have created custom intervals. Similarly, you could delete specific
instances and I believe to remember that you can also add single instances
by copying and pasting while holdiong down some modifier key.

Considering the large number of useful fixed intervals (i.e. every last Friday
in a month etc.) custom intervals are probably most likely to arise from
small deviations, i.e. since that Friday is a holiday, it should be on 
THursday...
