Hi Art,
I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional.  In the chrono design screen (tools) a change in the Boss ratio changes the length of the lock arm quite dramatically, looks like as much as one inch in length.  It appears to me that any length could work but I'm curious to know if you intended this effect?

Hi John:

  Its semi-intentional. I always try my best to reduce the number of settings to as few as possible, so I sometimes cheat by
attaching one thing to another. Ive already listed to myself that the adjustments for the escapements really need a few more
settings, so eventually this will change.
  Ive found over the years that its best to keep options limited as I can..it keeps puppies from dying in large measure,
but I really need to add some more there...
