If the built in barcode generator doesn't produce the output you like, 
you can always use an external generator and embed the result to 
scribus. I am sure that is no news to you. I had very good results with 
zint (https://zint.github.io/). It is quite configurable and available 
for linux. You can use it with a graphic, interactive interface or with CLI.

Yours: Laszlo
