Automating alternating switching between two sets

Hi all,

I’m pretty new to glyphs and kind of lost.

I am remaking a historic display typeface, which uses two sets of uppercase characters, which alternate like I alternate lowercase and uppercase in this word: TyPeFaCe. So it’s kind of like a one-two-one-two rhythm. How would I “automate” this when making the font? I researched a bit and found that maybe contextual alternates are the way to go? I haven’t a clue though …

I would be really thankful for help.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,
Tim
