label split task bar

[pocketbattle1]

i have a task that occurs at irregular intervals. so i entered the task as i
normally would and just extended the bar and split it as many times as the
task occurs so that the same task is on the same line just at different times
of the year. i need to be able to label each bar. the whole line will be the
same label. but it wont show up on any of the bars that occur after the first
bar. is there a way that i can do this?

I'd give the same answer as the others gave you, but I'll also add that you
might want to reconsider the approach you've taken. If at the end of all
those fits and spurts of activity, the end of the sequence you've created,
there's one deliverable completed then what you're doing is ok, if somewhat
akward. But if each of those occurences produces its own deliverable (and
just guessing I'll bet that's the case, it is 99% of the time you have a
series of tasks like that), then it's another story and they really should
be listed in the plan as independent tasks. If you were painting the
offices on a certain floor, each office takes 1 day and you figured you
could do one of them every month, in between other work taking place, it
would not be one task "painting" interrupted a number of times. Instead it
should be a series of separate tasks "paint room 201" "paint room 202"
"paint room 203" ... each of them at whatever point in the work that
particular room gets done.
