Mmmmm, I don't know exactly what you mean by being 'a novice', but unless you are happy with printing straight, with just one filter, with maybe a bit of dodging and burning in, I would avoid getting sidetracked until you are happy doing the just mentioned.

This used to be the case with MGIV, but with MGV, the spacing is not such an obvious mix.

Indeed there are! I've many years of printing under my belt and am just about happy with my printing after this length of time.
I (and others) have tried various ways of doing this style of printing, but have never been happy with the results. I therefore stick to one grade printing, but with the occasional burning in of sky areas with a lower filter, which is a very mild part of split grade printing I suppose.
