Hey folks -

Once again I did my bestest to search the books and boards before asking... but here I am with a new recurring contributions all set up and ready to go.  My live testing guinea pigs are feeding back that my instructions are too cumbersome and ought to be automated.

The development team chose this specific program for upper/moderate donors who are committing to $1500/5 year period - to give them these options.  $25/mo, $75/quarter, $150/semi-annual, $300/annual.

But CiviCRM doesn't have quarterly or semiannual as options.  My best work-around has been to write text instructions beside each radio button.

"Select Contribution Amount:
$25.00 (60 monthly payments - indicate every 1 month and 60 payments below)
$75.00 (20 quarterly payments - indicate every 3 months and 20 payments below)
$150.00 (10 semi-annual payments - indicate every 6 months and 10 payments below)
$300.00 (5 annual payments - indicate every 12 months and 5 payments below)"

Then the Civi-created line with 2 blank areas displays:
"I want to contribute this amount every _______ month (s) for _______ installments"

Is there any way to add quarterly and semi-annually and trick this all out so that the donor can just select one radio button and NOT have to MANUALLY enter the frequency or installment numbers?

Help!
