Which version do you use? I tried both patterns of you in version 2_0_3 and they work without any problem, giving the same predictions.
At the IISH we have the following pattern for an incrementing annual, using number instead of volume: ["2","0","8","1","a","no.","u","1","i","(year)","w","a","x","01"] And the calendar changes have indeed no influence.

Because every issue arrives in January, the month never actually "changes". - David On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 9:15 AM, Kathy Lussier <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a question about a serials prediction pattern that seems like > it should have been fairly straightforward, but took some time to get > the volumes to increment correctly. > > The prediction pattern is for an annual serial where the volume should > be incrementing every year.
