I have two stage right led bars placed right next to each other and I'm trying to put them in a matrix configuration with 8 columns and 2 rows. My issue arises when we get to channel 25 and 26 as they are strobe and light master. Is there a way to tell QLC+ that my second row starts on channel 27 instead of 25? I know and understand that this isn't the indented use. I'm just kind of curious. Thank you!

I'm quite sure that your fixture definition isn't correct. It should hold all channels and all 'heads'.
So, are those led bars having like 8 zones? Then the fixture definition will use this info and channel 25 and 26 will be included.
(BTW by the way) - you will have to have the master intensity mapped later on...
Adding 2 fixtures in QLC+ will include ch. 25 and 26 and the 2nd fixture will start at ch. 27 (or whatever channel you want)

I tried with the QLC+-provided fixture definition and it seems to do the correct thing...
I've added two of these fixtures in mode "H", and made a fixture group out of these, with 8 columns and 2 rows.

The first row shows address 1 throughout, the second row address 27, and choosing this fixture group in the RGB matrix editor looks like it does work as intended (unless I misunderstood something, as usual ;-)).

And yes, like GGGss said, you'll have to control the master dimmer and strobe speed channels separately in the virtual console or simple desk.
