I have set the neutral pose before storing any poses, but it seems to still
consider that.

then put a neutral pose to your bones before doing the base pose clip
and put it in the mixer with a weight of 1 all the time
if your bones are in neutral rotations you wont get non desired values.

I know how to get the stuff into the mixer and linked up. If you try this with
the default rig and blend between the Fist and the spread, you don't get a
tight fist, you get a 50/50 of the two. What I want is this:

position.

have 100% of the fist rotations about the global z and to have 100% of the
spread rotations about the global y, not, as it seems to do, average between
them. Taking off Normalise gets close to what I want but just adding them is
not much good unless you take into account the default pose. I think I'm saying
I would like to work in additive mode but from a default pose thats values were
treated as 0. At the moment if you default pose has some rotation on it, it
will get added to the sum and you won't get the correct pose.

>>I don't like the way the default rig does it. Having a slider for every bone
is just crazy imo. You might as well just animate the bones direct. The point
of my idea is to have predefined poses for the hands that are hooked up to
sliders, so you can easily blend into hand poses. Then if you need to tweak
those you can just animate the bones to override it. I just think it would be
nicer, and its what I'm used to doing in other packages. I guess this isn't
possible though.

different poses...

What I am trying to do is blend between static poses to control fingers. This
doesn't seem possible with normalized mixing or additive. When I say blend
between static poses I mean change the weight vaue for the track. So I have a
track for each finger position and set the track weights to get different poses
. Does that make sense? If theres a better way to do it, I'm all ears, or hands,
or whatever. ;-)
