What I proposed has fundamentally different objective than what you
described. Split printing aims to achieve intermediate contrast by
combining a very soft and a very hard contrast filter. My technique
does not seek an intermediate contrast.
Instead, grade 2 or 3 or whatever filter is used as necessary to print
the important parts of the print with natural contrast. Second
exposure with grade 5 is used only as a way to selectively manipulate
shadows without affecting highlight and midtone contrast.
Procedure is superficially similar but the aim and the end result are
different.
