If you're using what I called the K4+ approach, with LM and LC cooling the MIS carbon -- http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/4K+.pdf -- then you do have full Lab A and B control.  More magenta in the mix gives a higher Lab A.  Adding LM and LC gives a lower Lab B.  (That's a bit of a simplification, but not too far off.)
