How many pullers are on the crossrod? Normally you'd lower 5&6, or 5&10; but if it only has one puller, and only lowers 5, it may lower a half-tone or a whole tone, depending on personal preference.

If it only lowers the 5th string and pedal is next to the A pedal then I would have that P0 lower B-Bb and make sure it is split with the A pedal so I can get the major 7th when using it with the A pedal and E's to F lever in case I want a major chord. Release the A pedal to lower that maj7th note on the 5th string down to a 6th. You might wanna lower 9th string down to C# with another lever to have to root note available when releasing the Apedal.
