Or this sentence should be more explicit about what is implied with "additional control"...
I think the additional control is actually controlling things that belong to the staff engraver. A more descriptive explanation wouldn't hurt.
From what I understand it is just because "The staff switches may not end up in optimal places" (listen, /with the automatic behaviour/). But if you can mix manual and automatic, then you can get over it.
I'm still not convinced that the autochanger was ever meant to be mixed with the manual changer. It seems that, if anything, the bug is that it's possible to have manual staff changes whilst using the autochanger.
I actually wouldn't call that a bug. I would call it the intended behavior. The autochanger looks to where it will put the next note, then places the previous rest on the same staff.… The autochanger switches on the basis of the pitch (middle C is the turning point), and __it looks ahead **skipping over rests** to switch in advance__ So George_, your bug seems to be a "side effect" of this rest skipping functionality.
