In Lynx, there are 8 step parities. The "new" step parities include even+1, even+2, even+3, and their odd-step counterparts. These exist between the usual even and odd steps; a full cycle through the parities still lasts 2 moves. Pressing the ''O'' key will still toggle odd and even step, skipping the +1, +2, and +3 parities, but pressing ''Shift+O'' will advance one step parity at a time. This can be used to more precisely control teeth, which attempt to move on every even+x [[tick]] and not on any of the odd+x ticks, but not blobs as they are unaffected by step parity in Lynx. It is also useful in controlling [[animation delay]], as its duration is actually dependent on the current step parity.
