Thank you! I overlooked "ownnumber". It works for sections, but not for items
or floats.
\setnumber[section][10] doesn’t work, \setcounter the same (according to the
source they’re synonymous) – does section use a different counter name or is it
no counter at all?
\setnumber[figure][10] works (but only with integers, not some alphanumerical
stuff, sorry Duncan).
