I've never had this lever. I'm making changes to my C6 copedent, and could put this on my LKV.
I know about using it to make an Fm with pedal 6.
And, when playing C chords open with no pedals, you can play string 4 with the Ab lever instead of the G on 5 to get a Caug chord.
What do others use it for? I don't play jazz.

| When you're in the 2 frets down dominant 9 position with the P5 lower it turns the 5 into a flat 5 which is nice. Not sure of any other way to get a 7b5 chord off the top of my head. |

I recently added a tuned split with P4 so I can get the 1/2 raise to A#/Bb as well as the 1/2 lower.
Workable for now until I can find the parts to add some more levers. |

I have the 4th string raise to Bb on RKR. I used to raise 4 and 8 to B on a lever 25+ years ago, but never used it. I had another lever that raised A strings to Bb also. I've tried splits on pedals before, but always overshot the half stop. My feet are far less sensitive than my knees. Never could get half stops to work good on vertical levers either.

| When combined with p6 gives you a pretty Cmaj7 on fret 4. Just A-Ab on fret 7 gives Cm maj7. |
