I'm not sure if you're using the SQL backend for Kronolith or not (we are
here), but if you are, have a look at the structure of a recurring event
as it is stored in the kronolith_events table.  You'll see that it is a
single row in the table, with various columns controlling how often and
how long it recurs.

Changing a single event in a recurring event (let's say in the middle
somewhere) would require splitting that event into three different events:
one that recurs at the beginning, the single changed event, and one that
recurs at the end.

My guess is that this feature is not being worked on but a well written
patch might be accepted...
