Chaser inside a chaser with different fade times

Hello!

I have spent some time going through the forum and using the search, but I can't find a solution for this problem. I have found some older topics with the nested chaser fade time problem, but for them there wasn't yet a perfect solution (maybe it has changed now?) or maybe I just don't know the correct key words for my problem.

The situation:
1. Scene 1 - static light
2. Chaser (3 lights that turn on/off in a loop, lets call it "disco") - starts and Scene 1 fades out. (So far, so good. )
3. Scene 2 - static light slowly fades in while Disco Chaser fades out, still doing the same flashing speed, just the maximum brightness going lower.
And here lies the problem: If I add in the main chaser a fade out time for this specific step (nested chaser) - this affects also everything inside the disco chaser as well.

So far I have solved this situation like this:
In a solo frame I have a cue list from the show until the specific chaser, and a slider, that controls only the Disco chaser. In a new frame - the cue list for the show following the Disco chaser part.
At the moment I can do what I need by starting the show normally, then bringing the slider to maximum which starts the chaser and cuts off the previous scene making it fade out. And afterwards I can start the next cue-list and bring down the slider manually, which saves the speed, but brings down maximum brightness values, while the new scene fades in.

Question - is it possible to make it more elegant and maybe integrate in one cue list widget so that it is more fool-proof?

I have added the file, where the situation is presented how it looks at the moment.
Thank you!

I have exactly the same problem...

I did 2 very fast chasers to make the light oscillate (on-off very fast).
The first one is on 12 PARs and the second one is the same but with only 3 of these 12 PARs. I can't figure out how to make a nice transition between these 2 chasers. The chaser of the 3 PARs that should stay on is very low during the transition...

Nobody has a solution ?
