Creating concurrent crossfades

Question

I am trying to create concurrent crossfades where a long slow transition runs on part of the set while other (move) cues respond to action in another part. 
 Both parts include traditional and RGB fixtures. 
 I have tried movefades, lockfades (locks other channels, but not attributes), one-shot chase sequence (which repeats despite one-shot enabled), Master link (can't get a dipless fade) 
 Does anyone have any tips on how to acheive this?

Parameters like RGB are always LTP, so to have them 'continue' in the background simply don't record values in the subsequent cues. (Or delete them afterwards) 
 Movefade and Lockfade apply to the Intensity (HTP) transition. 
 So you'll want to use a Movefade so the Intensity transition runs as desired, and make sure that cues for each half of the set only include channels from that half of the set. 
 You can do that by putting your Sequence onto a Master, then select the channels for each cue and use [Record] & [Master_Key] to record "only selected channels" into each Cue/Preset. 
 (Could also use [Record] & [Preset] for only selected, then manually add the Preset to the sequence afterwards) 
 O, light the two halves of the set separately when recording each cue (so one side is off and thus not recorded). 
 If it's usually the same set of channels for each 'half' of the set, then the easiest way would be to create a Channel Partition for each half of the set and change to the right partition when editing/recording recording for each half. 
 To correct your existing cues, simply delete all the channels in the 'other half' from each Cue/Preset.
