Excellent.
This is the how you can have a button putting out an incrementing sysex
$button 1
.easypar CC 1 7 0 10 increment 1
.tx $F0 48 53 val $F7 ; ; (made up sysex)
cool isn't it
the easypar causes the value (val) to be incremented each time you press the encoder button
with .tx you can have quite a few MIDI messages so you don't really need the easypar and tx together in most cases
.tx $B0 $07 val $B2 $14 val $90 45 100 etc
up to 123 bytes in total
Any Midi messages
You could even have a sysex in the middle .
the .tx just outputs whatever you put in, so if you get the Midi message incorrect ithe BCR doesn't care but the receiving synth might
.tx $B0 7 100 val
might cause a few problems as you have 1 extra byte in the CC message.
If you had 2 it would be OK as it would just be Midi 'running status'
So you need to be a bit careful but it is very powerful

Yep, the switches in the encoder work the same as all the other buttons.
All the best
