The nice thing about cross-row phrases is that you can pop them in when necessary.

The moral... look for solutions in various "techniques" not conflict :)
Best advice so far in this thread!

I've taken row crossing one step further by having some inside row reeds on my G/C boxes moved around and changed to provide reversals for the G and the A. That leaves only the F and F# without reversals. (On a D/G box this would translate to providing reversals for D and E leaving only the C and C# without reversals.) This arrangement makes finding the "right" chords a lot easier and allows for very smooth legato playing - when that's what I want. For some tunes, however, I deliberately avoid the reversed buttons to force bellows reversals and get a punchier sound. For example, I use the legato approach for Plaisir D'mour and the staccato approach for My Darling Asleep.

I'm with you on this one Doug.  I've turned the D/E button on my old polkawork and it makes for some great oppotunities in my playing.  Old French is perhaps one of my favorites with this layout.
