Hi, You may have already fixed your problem, but I achieved something similar by writing my own event painter and tweaking the _findFreeTrack method. In my case I wanted to paint only events of the same custom type in the same track, in yours you should just return this._tracks.length + 1 ?
For your second problem I handled it in a way that might not fit your requirements : I computed a "pixelsPerInterval" and a corresponding "unit" to use with the zoomSteps initialization option...
