On a front derailleur proper shifting is not a matter of only limit screw settings. You must first confirm that the height and rotation are correct. The Park tool site will also explain how to determine that. Don't skip that part, and you should also confirm that the shift cable has low enough friction so as to not interfere with the downshift, which is completely spring-driven.
