Cuelist sync and fixture/cuelist exclusivity?

I just did a show that I programmed the media ahead and gave it a dedicated cuelist. Then I programmed movers and conventionals in another stack. I ran into some difficulty keeping up with the programming needs and some values for the media server were tracked into the Light cuelist. I have three questions:

Is there some way to declare that certain fixtures are only accessible to certain cuelists?

Is there any way to sync between stacks that same way two consoles sync? (I go on cue 30, you go on cue thirty, if you don't have a 31, I just go and you remain the same.)

Or is there a better stronger way that you more experienced media programmers can suggest? I've got several years of movers and conventionals, but am squeaky-new to media and would appreciate help and advice.

Thank you,

    Don't know why, but I had trouble getting the fixtures removed from the cue list, and I believe I executed the instructions right. I'll have opportunity to practice again in a while. Hopefully I will figure what I did wrong.

    The cue list trigger macro is significantly limited by the inability to specify WHICH cue to go to. I work in theatre almost exclusively, so sequence is everything. If I back up into a cue for any reason, the macro will trigger again. Not terribly useful. I think next time I will need to stick to one cue stack again, but just keep my programming very clean.

    In case I don't- how do you suggest the best way to block the Mover/conventional cuelist without blocking the media fixtures from the other cuelist? Just touch all the non-media channels and re-record the cue?

    Thank you all.
