OK, but then you can use the layers in normal copy mode. Be sure that 
the cues for the two groups (special and normal) have -only- channels 
for their group.

So if e.g special lights using channel 20-30 and normal 1-10, be sure 
that the cues for special only contain channels 20-30 while cues for 
normal lighting only have channels 1-10.

As long as a channel is used in one layer only, or you want to 
override (flash/blackout), there is no need to change the mixer mode 
setting.
