After the good result with the 'cord IV, I think it will work with the 
Rolleiflex, I already verified that if you open the 'flex back after to shoot 
the frame 6 with 120 film, the frame counter reset to 0 without to reset the 
lower film feeler mechanism to the starting position and then you get the 
number one for the next frame, frame 7 for this case, it will work similar for 
220 film if you open the back after to shoot the frame 12, the film will 
advance to the number one (frame 13) despite it did not pass through the 
rollers because the main frames counter gears are already engaged due to the 
film in the upper spool presses on the upper film sensor (the wheel with the 
eccentric axis in the upper spool chamber).
I still have four 220 Kodak TXP rolls and I will try them in the Rolleiflex.

Two samples about the 'cord IV with the 220 TXP are already available in my 
gallery.-
