getting set up, loving the app so far! there's a few things i'm having trouble figuring out if they're possible though.

mouse tracking seems to be based on the first monitor; is there a way to change which monitor it uses?
is there a way to make certain states exclusive? i'm using some states for expressions and i don't want multiple active at the same time (overlapping mouths get shown)
also is there a way to control other variables than visibility via states? i was hoping i could change head position slightly depending on expression without having to put in a bunch of duplicate layers

if any of these are out of scope that's fine, just wasn't sure if they're possible or not since the app has so many options.

Mouse tracking co-ordinates are set to the center and extent of your main monitor by default, but you can move them outside of that. Co-ordinates are still relative to the main monitor to make it consistent in case you want to spread it over all of them. If you have "show layer bounds" on, move your RahiTuber window into the desired monitor and you'll see a little crosshair appear at whatever "neutral position" you've set.
To make states exclusive like that, the only real way is to tell the state to hide all the other mouth positions you don't want showing up. You can either hide the specific layers, or hide a folder containing them. You can also make use of the "hide with parent" option in the motion parent setting. As long as you use "Toggle" or "while held", this will still be reverted when you deactivate the state.
I have been thinking of adding more than visibility to the states for a while, but it'll require an extensive rework. Sorry, i haven't got there yet!
