This is interesting - I'm looking forward to see these circuits!
So the fixed stages are in the same chain as the variable stages ?
Then it's different to this other idea where a fixed line works
"against" a variable line fpr creating the notches ...
but waitaminute: do the fixed stages shift in the same direction 
as the variable ones?

Just a quick thought ...
