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).
