...Another thought might be if we could use some class to indicate which "display level" a particular item was.  Right now the only difference between items is that some are styled to the right half of the column and some to the left half (or right 1/3, middle 1/3, left 1/3...).  

It might allow for some way to visually communicate to customers that certain events override others.

These event names might be better.

Yes if you can convert this to a request that would be helpful. It would be a valuable option to have out of the box.

Is there anything related to how the existing scheduler treats concurrent events that I can look at?  We would like to find some solution and I will need to find out what my options are even if the above can't be recreated exactly. I realize I'd be working with something that's not an intended feature, but again just hoping that we can find some solution until a more polished feature is available from your team.

Thanks for your help.

THanks Stefan, I did go through those pages but couldn't find anything related to what I'm looking for.  

Here's what we are trying to recreate:

Where there are two events over the same timeslot, one should overlap the other.  In our case we are scheduling events and one of the "wins" in priority and therefore should be shown on top of the others. The "Test Is Animated" item will be active from 2am - 3:30am, then "Aerva by Watchfire" (in red) will override that from 3:30am - 5:15am and then the "Test is Animated" will be active after 5:15am.

In any case, I don't see how the SchedulerItem decides whether or not to show as full-width in the day column or split with another item in the column...

Another UI option might be to display them side-by-side, but indicate a greyed out section where the one item takes priority over the other. This seems harder to implement, but still I don't see the part where one item "knows" anything about another item, so I can't say how hard it might be for sure.
