Works like a charm, though I think the striped theme is a bit too aggressive. I'd much rather just divide the event into sections that amounts to the number of merges events i.e. three stripes for three events.

The basic functionality is great. However, when there are other events below the duplicated events, the vertical space is not reclaimed, so I end up with gaps. I was hoping to get this vertical space back; I understand if it's not possible, but it would be really nice.

Works great. Just wish it would allow me to somehow select which one of the combined events that it opens when I click on the combined event.
