Using Absolute Effects with a Submaster

I am building a busking show file in which I have an additive sub controlling the intensity of a group of fixtures and a cue list with different intensity effects in each cue. Only the effect is recorded in the cue list, not intensity.

This works fine for linear effects however not for absolute effects which reference the 'background state'

I had previously worked around this by using an inhibitive sub instead and running a 'base' cue list with all my lights at full however this removes the functionality of the bump button sending the lights to full.

It also seams that I can not use a cue list instead of a sub because it does not have the 'bump' functionality.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to overcome this?

Many thanks.
