The Advanced Settings patch enables the Advanced Settings button on the [Aa] menu item for all your sideloaded fonts, not just the built-in fonts. If you select Bookerly then sliding the Weight slider to the right makes all 4 Bookerly .ttfs display bolder. Sliding left makes all 4 less bold. Whatever slide level you pick you should still be able to see that Bookerly-Bold is heavier than Bookerly-Regular and Bookerly-BoldItalic is heavier than Bookerly-Italic.
Two very different things indeed then. And easy enough to do both. Thanks!
