Hi João,
The units are at the beginning of
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/util/date-time.js

To show each 5 years, when you call createBandInfo, specify
multiple: 5
As for turning off the time labels completely, that's not supported.
Could you describe the scenario in which you want that?

You can "sync" the bands. This is done in all of the examples so you can
take a look at the examples' HTML code using your browser's View Source
command to see how it's done.

That's not supported.

It should be able to display Unicode text properly. You need to set your
text editor to save your file in UTF-8 encoding.

Not yet. We have that option in our Exhibit project but not in Timeline.

That's not supported. Have you looked at Exhibit?
http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/
It has more advanced features.
