Hi Frank,
yes, exactly. You process individual samples with different # partons in 
the final state all the way through pythia, rivet. Then (manually) 
weight them to the same lumi and add together. So, (Z+j)/(Z) comes from

a.(Z+j)1 + b.(Z+j)2 +...
------------------------
a.(Z)1   + b.(Z)2 + ....

where a,b are the lumi weights, (XX)1, 2 are from the samples with 
different partons. If all you have is [(Z+j)/(Z)] for each of these 
parton samples, I haven't figured out a way to do this...

cheers,
	Gavin
