I improved the design lately.

The design is to still register the next master mode with:

         void ComputeCore::setMasterModeNextMasterMode(PluginHandle plugin,MasterMode mode,MasterMode next);

but the new code will accept more than 1 next MasterMode handle for any current MasterMode.


The selection will be done with:

         void CompureCore::setSelectNextMasterMode(PluginHandle plugin,MasterMode masterMode, MasterMode selectedNextMasterMode);

So obviously the best thing to do here I think is to add a master mode whose role is just to do this selection.

The path

A     B     C     D     E     F     G     H
o---->o---->o---->o---->o---->o---->o---->o


becomes

A     O*    B     C     D     E     F     G     H
o---->o---->o---->o---->o---->o---->o---->o---->o
        \
         \
          \  R     S     T     U     V     W
           ->o---->o---->o---->o---->o---->o


Where the O* MasterMode perform the test and decides which path to go.
The default path is the first registered.


Does that fulfil your requirements for your work ?


If yes, I will cook up a patch.
