The BCF/BCR's button increment mode is very confusing, so it's no wonder you're having trouble.
See "BC MIDI Implementation.pdf", section 15.10, for an in-depth discussion.

But basically, you should set increment to PLUS 8.
And if you want the first output value to be 0 (rather than 8), you need to set Default to 127.

So in BCL you need something like this (for CC#7 on channel 1):

$rev F1
$button 33
  .easypar CC 1 7 127 0 increment 8
  .showvalue on
  .default 127
$end

In BC Manager's terms this is:
Show value = On
Default value = 127
Type = Control change
Channel = 1
Controller = 7
Value 1 = 127
Value 2 = 0
Mode = Increment
Increment = +8

This produces a sequence of 0, 8, 16, ... 120, 0, 8, ...
So no 127 - right now I can't think of a way to make that happen.

Hope this helps,
   Mark.
