Thanks for your help

If your R1 is paying attention, the only chance of this being an issue is if you're in serve receive in rotation 6 to begin the set. Every other rally the R1 should know exactly where the setter is even without the lineup.

Do you run the risk of mistaken illegal attack calls? Probably. How can you avoid it? Maybe have those players stacked under the R1 discretely tell the R1 that the setter is front row, and not to be faked out. Either than or hope your R1 is aware enough to know where your setter is.
