Issues with Double Buffering $0400+$0c00, $d011, vertical scrolling

I'm having some screen jitter, when doing vertical scrolling. The basic overview is I have open top and bottom borders, with sprites in them (acting as blockers and a Logo). I also have a fixed text line in the upper screen
and text/char bitmap that is the bottom half. The lower half is about 14 char lines (with a total bitmap size of 63 char lines). The screen is double buffered, so $0400 and $0c00 flip back and forth. The Bitmap drawing is done 2 lines at
a time, over 7 frames on the 8th frame the screen banks flip and the bitmap is moved up one charline. This works fine, No glitches or anything.

The moment I start messing with $d011 vertical scroll, it works but there are a lot of glitches..

Layout below:

C.        Fixed Text Line

D.========SPRITE BLOCKER MID============
E.00000000000000000000000000000000000000
E.99999999999999999999999999999999999999
E.88888888-TEXT/CHAR IMAGE -888888888888
E.77777777777777777777777777777777777777
E.66666666666666666666666666666666666666
F.-=-SPRITE BLOCKER LOWER BORDER-=-=-=-=

All done through IRQ's:

A. Open Border with $D011, Display Sprite Logo
B. Fixed $d011 AND#248 to ORA#7, so the text stays still
C. After text line is rendered, Apply Lower screen scroll value from YScroll variable/label
D. After mid blocker sprites render/set, Play Music Routine (disabled)
E. Setup lower Blocker Sprites
F. Open Border, Frame Calculations, Set YScroll Value and 2/14 lines of the character bitmap.

Is my logic correct for when I do things? Is there something
that I am missing when I switch screen banks and YScrolling?

wild guess:

maybe you should try to time your finescroll write to d011 so, that its on the last line of the previous text row, or first row of next char row.

description or screenshot of the glitch would help a lot to understand what goes wrong.

Are you jsr'ing to your yscroll routine in the area you are scrolling?

Are you accidentally triggering a line crunch when you don't want one?
Link to a prg would help. :)

-- Yup, that's the one. I was triggering a scroll through an ora from a subtracted value, which was 1 step out of alignment. So it would bounce from 0 to 7 then flip banks. Being able to slow things to crawl really helps debug that kind of thing.
