For totally oddball patterns, you can also create your own complex publication pattern. My colleague Laura Edwards and I put together
a pretty detailed talk on this a few years ago. This was a couple of versions back, but I think it still all applies:

Subject: Setting Up a Preditcive Component Pattern in Voyager
Hello everyone,
Our library uses the Acquisitions module of Voyager to manage serials check-in, claims, etc. However, I have been having trouble setting up a predictive component pattern for items that come five times a year. The system will number and
date the first five issues correctly, but it won’t roll the year over for the next five issues. So it will create vol.1, nos. 1-5, 2012, but then it will create vol. 2, nos. 1-5 but with 2012 as the year still. I have not figured out how to get around this
issue. Any help from Voyager users out there?
Thank you,
