I am looking at magento "catalog price rules" and although I have added the special_price to filter conditions: I dont think I can do the following
question:
How can I only apply the "catalog price rules" if the special_price was not already set
Aim: target only products that do not already have a special price set

Please follow this image and add the condition as per the image. If you can not see the special price attribute in dropdown than navigating to the admin >> Catalog >> Attributes >> Manage Attributes and search 'special_price' in attribute code input text box and edit this attribute. And set 'Yes' to the 'Use for Promo Rule Conditions'. After that Special price will be shown in that condition dropdown.
