You could try the other setup where you hold L2 and R2 to get different cross bars (L2 first then R2 gives one side, R2 then L2 gives the other side. It's effectively 2 cross bars without hitting R1 or holding R1 then pressing a face button). I don't use it, but some people really like it. I prefer the hold R1 then face button. Only macro I use is a party chat one as a general warning that people will need to dodge something big or whatever :P
