It may take a couple times of small adjustments to get it right, but I caution about large adjustments, which can cause shifting to change for the worse. Fine tuning takes patience, but is rewarded when done properly.
I've been doing that, moving the barrel up by 1/4 adjustments. I've gotten it to shift really well except for the middle cog. If I get the middle cog to shift normally, it throws off the other cogs.
