If you set your shutter between two speeds do you get the speed in between?

Sorry to seem persistent, but do slow speeds extend to those below 1/10 as well? And does the 1/10-1/15 exception extend there, too?

The "slow speeds" are 1/10, 1/5, 1/2 and 1 seconds.

The "slow speeds" are 1/10, 1/5, 1/2 and 1 seconds.

Again, with apology for seeming stupid. But to be sure I don't make any wrong assumptions:

Does that mean that the dial can not be set between any of those slow speeds, as well as between the fastest two? Thus the only settings that permit in-between settings are those between 1/10 and 1/25, between 1/25 and 1/50, and between 1/50 and 1/100 on my rim-set Compur (top speed 1/200) and those between 1/10 and 1/25, betwee 1/25 and 1/50, between 1/50 and 1/100 and between 1/100 and 1/200 on my rim-set Compur-Rapid (top speed 1/400). Right?

Anser one more time and I won't bother you again. Promise.

Of course you can set your shutter between any speeds, it's your shutter, but don't expect you will get better pictures in any way.

There is no need to use other speeds because you can set the exposure in 1/3-steps with the diapragm. 1/3 f-stop is the smallest step in the speed-scale that affects density. Also as mentioned before every shutter is often off by half a shutter speed or more, and may change speeds with varying environmental conditions.
