Note: the "seven_plus_pages" page-sequence-master is there by mistake
(and does nothing)...

Well, if you know the number of pages is less than 100 and want an
ugly suggestion, then the attached one works...

The number of "groups of seven" is not known in advance, it depends
on the input data but the total number of pages will be less than
100. The use case is like this:
We are printing statements (transactional data) and each statement
has a different number of pages depending on the customer. Each
statement is enveloped and dispatched. The printing house has only
one type of enveloping machine that can fit at most 6 sheets into an
envelope. When a document is larger than 6 sheets, it is splited into
envelopes and all of them are send to the same address. Each envelope
has a 'window' in a predefined area where the address is printed.
Therefore, on every 7th sheet we should print on an absolutely
positioned area, the recipient address. Other than this, the flow of
the content will continue from page to page.
Any XSL:FO suggestion, even if not elegant or not fully resolving
this, is welcomed !

Re-reading (and quite likely stilll not fully inderstanding) the
repeatable-page-master reference et al, I'm inclined to agree with
Luis. If you know how many "groups of seven" you will be making, I
can give you a suggestion from something that is working for me. It
amounts to making as many page references as needed. Not elegant,
but for me it was critical.

The issue is with the first page of every 7th sheet. Maybe it would
help if you explain how you intend to flow the content from page to
page. When you are on page 12th and want to move to page 13th do
you let the content flow or do you insert a break?
If you insert a break when you get to the first page of every 7th
sheet then it may be possible. Because then it is like a book where
you want each chapter to start on a odd page and you can use the
blank-or-not-blank trait to achieve that. However that assumes you
only insert breaks at the end of chapters, which in your case would
be the end of every 6th sheet. If you want to insert a break at the
end of every page then it will not work.

OK, then I believe you can define each needed simple-page-master:
first, second-sixth, seventh and make a page-sequence-master with
a repeatable-page-master-alternative with a reference to each of
the seven pages in the sequence. Not sure if the 2-6 can be in a
conditional-page-master-reference or not.

Hello and thank you for your quick answer!
Concerning your question:
Will you be addressing the static regions of the "seventh pages"
differently from one another. In other words does e.g.
region-before or page 13 get the same content as region-before on
page 25?
The answer is no, I will not be addressing them differently.
The regions-before will be the same for pages 13,25th etc.
Cheers.
