Jon, I tried it that way, but found there wasn't room for me and the action in the cavity at the same time. Besides, it's dark back there! Just kidding. I use Ed's way, more or less, on upstop rails that require lowering [all S&S, whatever others]. On new or newer pianos, that for whatever reason are "jamming" damper levers into the upstop rail, I use a combination mental "picture"... and guessing. Over time, I must have become proficient, since I rarely have to adjust twice.
