Prevent recording DMX winch moves in lighting cue list (and vice versa)

Question

Hello, I am currently working on a show with curtains operated by Wahlberg DMX winches. I would like to prevent these winch moves from being recorded into my cue list 1 (which should be for lighting only), and also prevent other fixtures from being recorded into my cue list 2 (which should be for the winches only). Do you know if this is possible? 
 thanks a lot !

Please remember that DMX protocol doesn't have any error correction or check sums, controlling winches by DMX can lead to dangerous situations. 
 To exclude channels from being recorded into a cuelist you can apply a channel filter or a partition to this cuelist.

Regular partition, but not assigned to the user as you would classically do. Assign it to the cuelist (Cue 1/ Partition 10 Enter). 
 This does the same thing as assigning a filter to a cuelist, the advantage is that the partition is an object that can be managed more easily than the filter. 
 That you can control a channel outside of your partition is still true if you have a partition for your user, but if you have the partition on your cuelist there are no exceptions in that cuelist.
