Winkeyer - changing the CW speed in a single message

Hello!
 
Using K1EL WinKeyer.
 
Is it possible to program the temporary relative CW speed change during the macro execution, for example to speed up sending the report part during contesting?
 
For example:
%c de %mc %h ur <INCWPM 5>%rs<DECWPM 5>
or
%c de %mc %h ur <INCWPM 5>%rs</INC5WPM>
 
Where <INCWPM 5> etc. are internal commands for CQRLOG to parse,  calculate the actual new speed and insert the appropriate command code to send to the WinKeyer.
 
Or would it be possible to send any existing host mode directive to the WinKeyer, at least the buffered ones like pause [secs], speed change, merge letters, etc? There's no relative speed change within these commands, but this would nevertheless open many new possibilities. :)
 
The winkeyer has this capability in standalone mode (/Y and /Z embedded commands), but in host mode I guess it needs to be coded in the CQRLOG itself.
 
Thank you!

Hi,
 
this is already included in cqrlog. When you use + in the text, letters between it and next - will be send faster. The step is set to 5WPM.
 
For example:
 
%c de %mc %h ur + %rs -

Great news, Petr, I somehow

Great news, Petr, I somehow missed that part in the manual. Sorry for that, and have a nice weekend! :)
