Just out of curiosity, how do other systems switch fronter? Do you have triggers, or prearranged times, or switch according to the situation, or what?

Edit: It seems the accepted word for 'deliberate trigger' is 'hook', meaning something used to bring someone to the front when needed. We use something of this sort and were wondering if anyone else does.

For a long time, we'd rarely 'switch' - whoever was stronger and more apt at being dominant would be the one the outside world knew...unfortunately, this led to a whole crap load of problems because it made us appear semi-Schizotypical due to a change in the primary interests, hobbies, etc. every few years. One of us even got married without consulting the rest and the marriage was very bad for all of us. After the 16 months of the hellish marriage were over, we all got in a big fight and since then, none of us take primary control. We switch based on triggers, situations and interests. However given the vast array of interests we each have, people who don't know we're a multiple think we're absolutely bonkers.
