[scribus] Ticket numbering

[Frank Cox]

I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to get numbers on tickets and it looks
to me like the closest Scribus comes to this is automatic page numbering, which
doesn't get me where I'm going.

We're creating tickets for the Creek FM "50,000 Watts of Pow Wow Power!" Rez
Rock concert (how's that for a title) and would like to be able to set up a
sheet with a dozen or so tickets on it, then sequentially serial number each
ticket in two places.  Nicer yet would be an ability to put sequential
seat/row/section numbers on each ticket as well.  (Seat 1, Row 1, Section 1
through Seat 150, Row 12, Section 4, or whatever -- I'm sure you see what I
mean.)

My initial idea is to use Scribus to create a plate to print the tickets, run
that through the press and print the required number of sheets, then put each
sheet through the printer and number them using a custom program that I haven't
yet written.

The better (less labour-intensive) approach would be to do the whole thing with
Scribus and print the tickets and the numbers in one shot on the printer, since
we've got to push everything through the printer anyway to get the numbering
done.

I'm open to brilliant ideas and suggestions....
