creating and fading scenes?

Hello everyone,
I do the lighting in a small local theatre (non professional=). I am used to 'saving' all the fader positions of the lights I want to controll to a 'scene' and then controlling that scene with one fader. I used to do this for all the scenes so in the show I just had to move two faders at the time when the scene changed (one for slowly taking down the previous scene and one for bringing up the next scene)
Is there an equivalent to do this in FreeStyler? Up to now I just read about the possibilities of creating sequences where the steps are controlled by timing or sound, but I want to be able to fade frome one to the next by hand.
I hope you understand what I mean since I am neither an english native speaker nor a professional lightman=)
thank you very much

hi there are differnt ways.

Example1: (submasters)
you can load differnt SEQ in to a CUE file and load the CUE file in to a submaster.
you can only select one SEQ per submaster and use the Submaster intensitie slider to adjust the Brightness from a SEQ.

in your case use 2 Submasters and switch between them.

Example2: (Cue listbuttons)
you can also use a Button that start ALL SEQ that are inside a CUE and the light will FADE on the FADE time thats inside the SEQ.

Example3:(GOmonkey)
GOmonkey is a Theatre ADD-ON for freestyler, never used it so i can tel anything about it.
