Sharepoint 2010 - SPCalendarView - Month View - Max Events Displayed

I'm currently working on a project involving the SPCalendarView (Defaulted as Month View).  Once greater than 6 events occur on a specific day, additional events are hidden under the "x more items" label and must be clicked to display.  Here's my problem....

I've follow the article, Bend Sharepoint without bending the rules, which goes through creating a custom template and adding MaxVisibleEvents=10to the overridden CalendarViewmonthChrome template, to no avail. 

I'd like to display only 3 events, with the rest falling under "x more items".  Thoughts?
