contents We study switching among multiple square selections of output functions (melds) drawn from a deck of candidate outputs for nonlinear systems that are static feedback linearizable via outputs. Fixing an operating point, each meld induces a distinct feedback-linearizing coordinate chart defined on a common neighborhood. Switching between melds therefore produces state-dependent coordinate mismatches that are not captured by classical switched-system analyses. We quantify this effect through Lipschitz bounds on the cross-chart maps over a compact safe set and introduce a reference-compatibility constant that measures mismatch among reference families across melds. We derive an explicit dwell-time condition depending on controller decay rates and the compatibility constant, that guarantees exponential decay of the active-output tracking errors between switches, seamless tracking of outputs shared by consecutive melds, and uniform boundedness of the state error within the safe set. A planar 3R manipulator illustrates the results.
