Re: using headnumber

Fascinating, but... The slidenumber needs to be reset according to  
the criterion whether we're starting an odd or an even section.

If anybody's wondering why I want such a bizarre setup: this is  the  
manuscript of my course for the entire term. Every class consists of  
two lectures = two sections in my manuscript, but because the  
lectures are back-to-back, I have one pdf presentation for both and  
want the marks for the slides in my manuscript numbered consecutively  
for section 1+2, then reset and numbered for 3+4 etc. Btw, I  
laboriously wrote my own macro to get nice marks for the slides in my  
manuscripts and  then I discovered the \definelabel command...

Best
