Question about Click patterns [figured it out]

I have this simple 6/8 pattern:

1 1 1 1 1 1/8

This works fine, but I really want to only hear the 1 and 4 clicks. I know I can turn down the Normal click to zero in Click options, but this messes me up with the other meters and patterns I have in this song. So I'm wondering if there's a way to write a pattern that will not click on the beats I don't want to hear? Maybe it's an easy thing?

Click Patterns is such a great feature but it also confuses the heck out of me.

Thanks!

I think I have it:

2 2 /4d

Since it's in 6/8, the twos before the slash are quarter notes, but since the indicator after the slash is 4d (a dotted quarter note), they're value is dotted quarter notes.

This pattern only clicks on the 1 and 4 in 6/8. I have them both accented.

Boy, once you spend some time to understand the syntax of this thing it's a whole lot of fun and extremely useful considering you can change it at any time and to almost any pattern you may need.
