Crossed system entry

Ways to enter (get into) crossed system... I just wanted/needed to make a list...

1] Walking straight - "sneaky" wt change inside
2] Walking straight - wt chg outside (close side)
3] Side step - "sneaky" wt change
4] Side step - stealth/slo-mo/milonguero wt change aka "little foot"...sim to milonguero salida
5] Rock step (left) + side step + wt chg
6] To cruzada with no wt chg by leader
7] Cross footed start - leader changes follower's weight while standing, with no weight change by lead
8] Cross footed change - same as #7, but in the middle of a song, from a pause, or walking (more difficult)
9] "The Stermitz Fake" - while walking fake/feint/trick follower to switch to crossed feet, but leader does not change...very difficult to impossible to lead...
10] Ocho cortado with no weight change in final step by leader...
11] In ochos (already in crossed feet)...straight walk out of ochos to stay in crossed feet...
12] Traspie "side step" to right - leader changes weight by traspie step...
13] Any resolution where leader normally changes wt to walk out in parallel - don't change weight to walk out in crossed system (tends to infinity...infinite possibilities)...
14] In molinete (counterclockwise)...lead extra side step by follower...walk out in crossed feet on close side...

Underlying structure....1] leader changes to crossed system...or 2] leader changes follower to crossed system...

Am I missing any obvious possibilities?
