Yes - aux D acc is reset to 0 when a new pattern is selected.

The aux D acc is added to the value for aux D, but when it's being used for
thresholds and masks, the accumulator value is used by itself - the value of
aux D is not included.

The auxes are processed in series order - A, B, C, D
So there's no point masking aux B from aux C since aux B will already have
been processed before aux C can turn it off. That's why there's no mask aux
A - there's no aux before A to assign it to.

Potentially, but if you bear in mind the above conditions in future you
shouldn't need to, and I can use the limited remaining space for something
else.

Sounds complicated... it might scare more people than it pleases ;-)

No! Sounds kind of like the ability to set the 'first step', in addition to
the 'last step', and having the ability to do it on playlists. I like it.
