Displaying tikz calendar on several pages to realize a weekly schedule logbook for each year

Question

I'm writing my own class logbook to organize my work with students along the year. Unfortunately, I encountered troubles to perform a weekly schedule :

1. Because it'll cover all the year, I want to display only one week over two pages. So I need breakout just afterwards wednesday. But I can't stop the calendar and force it to continue on the next page. And repeating several times untill the end of the year... In the following MWE, i've interrupt after wednesday to begin a new calendar on thursday. Ideally, i do not want make those 52 breaks manually...

2. Saturday and Sunday do not require grid and take much less space hence they should be displayed one above the other. The remaining space will be accorded for a dedicated "Mémo" space. But the option day list downward has no effect in a began calendar. I've to compute them in a third one...

3. Monday has to point the schedule time for the corresponding lines. I've written what monday should be but i'm not able to make it works.

4. On the lower right corner of the right pages (below Sunday) should be a quarter of a circle to cut it at the end of the week. Like a bookmark. I didn't tackle this issue yet.

Here is what I've written :

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calendar}
\pagestyle{empty}

\usepackage{colortbl}
\usepackage[margin=1cm]{geometry}

%%To modify width of the days easier
\newlength{\WeekWidth}
\setlength{\WeekWidth}{6cm}

%%To define start and end of the calendar easier
\def\firstday{2022-09-01}
\def\lastday{2022-09-30}

%%To display the week numbers. I want to restart it after christmas holiday but I'll achieve that later by simply \setcounter for such special dates
\newcounter{SchoolWeek}
\setcounter{SchoolWeek}{0}

%%Command to make the cells for a "normal" working day aka (Tuesday and Friday)
\newcommand\weekday{%
    \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{5.6}
    \begin{tabular}{|p{\WeekWidth}|}
        \hline
        \rowcolor{gray!20}\raisebox{30pt}{\centering \%wt - \%d0/\%m0/\%y0} \\[-1.5cm]

And here is the draft of the final project :

This question seems a very specifical problem and i understand that it'll touch nobody or near. But as it covers several points, i'm sure someone will be interested of how to deal with one or another problem. In particular, i've never seen some examples of tikz-calendar for several pages calendar which seems current in my opinion.

I'll be glad if you address only one point or suggest me some way to improve my code. I'm on the pgf manual but i didn't seen anything useful for me yet.

Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

A first attempt to meet your requirements.

Important:

• Each column/day must have the same height. Perhaps the last column (Saturday, Sunday and Memo) is not perfectly aligned because the column does not have the same fields as the other columns.

• The Saturday, Sunday and Memo fields are created together on Saturday.

• If you do not want the gap between Friday and the last column, comment out the appropriate hspace (see comment in the code). The same applies to the text (Journal de Classe de Piroooh (2022)) in the right margin.

• I recommend choosing a time range that starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. Other start and end days are also possible, but the design is then of course not perfect. But try it out yourself if you need it.
