If you are talking about the CW OFS option that has been discussed here 
(CONFIG:CW WGHT and tap 5), then: (a) changing this option affects all 
bands, not just the current band; and (b) for stations that are exactly 
on the same pitch that you have selected for your sidetone, the CW 
offset is correct for either sideband. However, stations that are not on 
the sidetone pitch will change pitch if the sideband you use in CW is 
not the same as the SSB sideband. To get accurate pitch matching for all 
signals within the bandpass, you should use CW REV on bands where you 
use USB for phone, and CW normal on bands where you use LSB for phone.
