Magic Sheet...is this possible?

I'm moving along in Magic Sheets, thanks to Daz and PB for the help. Now that I've gotten my BP all set up and labeled (including the pictorial gobo icons,) I've added below these a series of buttons that control rotation rate and direction (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.) These are simply reference points of speed but, of course, you don't always rotate at specific rates so, with that in mind, I want to create a button or buttons next to each row of speeds that would allow me to vary the speed of rotation.

I've tried adding a console button with encoder as its target and another button with encoder wheel 4 as its target. When I grab a fixture, add a gobo, give it a rotation value from the BP buttons and push the encoder button all I get is the "encoder page" flash on the console and no control over the rate.

Is there a way to create a button or whatever that would give me a way to alter the speed as I would with the actual encoder wheel on the console?

I'm sure there's a magic macro that I can build and attach to a button on the MS but have yet to figure it out.

Am I asking too much of my magic sheet? Should I simply resign myself to fact some things are best done from the console :)

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
