I want a linear pattern of these pockets down this bar.
I tried using the linear pattern tool; however, I am not sure it supports my use-case since I want the angle, 'A' shown in the following picture to be constrained to spreadsheet entries corresponding to which iteration of the pattern is being drawn.
After looking at another tutorial, I also tried using a linear transformation and polar transformation in a 'multi-pattern;' however, rather than polar transformations being applied iteratively to linear ones or vice versa when the pattern order are switched around, like with scaled transformations, it seems a polar pattern is produced with the complete result of the linear pattern. Furthermore, I am not sure that I could use a formula to properly regulate the polar pattern, since the GUI seems to take a formula for the extent of the pattern, but not a delta in the change per iteration stretched along said extent.
I could resort to manually copying the sketch and updating the formula for 'L' and 'A' from my picture to their corresponding entries on my spreadsheet; however, that seems like a poor solution.

I have added an older copy of the object wherein I'd manually set the angles as an example; I have also included a picture of it. The angle of each subsequent slot in the picture below is slightly shallower. This is the effect I am hoping to recreate in an automated manner.
