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.... -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
