This is very similar to a request I made last year.
What I wanted to do was to create a generic 'based' cuelist for a 
fixture then use that same info to drive many fixtures by supplying the 
base channel.
I could thus quickly create a reusable 'shape' library (to cover 
colour/position/etc.) - the lanbox for its part would have to add the 
base channel to the cuelist channel to determine the actual channel.
This would prevent the current need to cut'n'paste the same info across 
many identical fixtures, saving time and cuelist space.
