Well, you could configure two buttons that could increase/decrease an Integer
in a calc block, ie, 1 to 10, and make each string be visible by this number...
I know... Using a calc block fo display is not clean, but will do the job.

Illustrious List,

I tried to send this once but the message body did not show up. Hope it
works this time.
