LEDC PWM HPOINT use to create a lead-in delay on a PWM channel

[Comalco]

Having read various comments and thread on the web, I am wondering if its possible to change the value of hpoint(n) in one LEDC PWM channel (say ch2) to create a lead delay for its waveform compared to (say) ch1? If lpoint = hpoint + duty_cycle, then if the same duty_cycle is set for both ch1 and ch2, then wouldnt changing hpoint for ch2 in-effect give ch2 the same pulsewidth, but offset by the different hpoint value written into ch2? I have tried reading and changing the values in the register locations (calculated as 0x3FF59020, 0x3FF59040, etc). I can change values at these locations but without creating a delay. I presume I am using and calculating the correct register addresses, as per esp32_technical_reference_manual_en.pdf section 14 Register 14.2. LEDC_HSCHn_HPOINT_REG (n: 0­7) (0x20+0x10*n) ..... from the base address of 0x3FF59000. Any pointers/guidance greatly appreciated by this relative newbie.
