Thanks for the response.
In the case of aligning events with rows... someone I work with that
uses Timeline suggested I create a Timeline row (I forget the
particular term) *PER* event, and I can tell Timeline to keep them in
sync.  Then I can put labels in the web page at the right locations to
align with the rows (not particularly clean but I suppose it's the
quickest path to success).
Thanks for the hint on editing event times.

Would something looking like this be close enough to what you want?
http://www.lincolnstein.org/timelines/
In which case, you can simply view that web page's source code to see
how.

Hmm, we don't support editing yet. Search for "createDurationDiv" in 
this source code
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/painters.js
to see how that currently works. You will need to write your own
Timeline.DurationEventPainter.prototype.paint
in a <script> element after you include timeline-api.js. Which is not
so 
easy.

For adding new events on the fly, see Liming Xu's example:
http://www.ajaxlab.com/timeline/tasks.html

Hope that helps,

David
