If you want fine control on the layout of events, then for now, put them
into different event sources and feed each event source to a different
band.


I've actually run into the same issue with my 'conference' example.  There
are 2 conference tracks so I want to group the series of events associated
with a track.  The tricky problem with creating a second band is that it
interacts with the 'summary band' in that you either have to create 2
summaries as is done in the religion mashup or load 2 sets of events into
the summary.  Unfortunately, loading 2 sets of events into summary ends up
laying out the summary differently than the overview.  You also have 2 sets
of labels that have to be suppressed. Maybe there should be a
'composite-band' class that can take sub-bands to group the events and
handle unified labeling and styles.
