Memoir Class – How to Manually Set Chapter Number in LaTeX

chaptersmemoir

I need to insert a chapter 7.5 between chapters 7 and 8. I've figured out how to get chapter 8 to be chapter 8, but I can't figure out how to get chapter 7.5 to be chapter 7.5. I'm using the memoir.cls and chapterstyle "dash".

Here's my MWE:

\documentclass{memoir}

\chapterstyle{dash}

\begin{document}

\chapter{The Laboratory} %This is the chapter I want labelled 7.5

\setcounter{chapter}{7}
\chapter{Testing} %This is the chapter I want to be labelled "8".
\end{document}

Thanks!

\chapterstyle{dash}

\begin{document}

\renewcommand\thechapter{7.5}
\chapter{The Laboratory} %This is the chapter I want labelled 7.5
\renewcommand\thechapter{\arabic{chapter}}

\setcounter{chapter}{7}
\chapter{Testing} %This is the chapter I want to be labelled "8".
\end{document}

Mine is a little more complicated than Harish', and will need a little tweeking from your part

\documentclass[openany,oneside]{memoir}

\chapterstyle{ell}

\renewcommand{\beforepartskip}{%
  \null
  \vspace*{\beforechapskip}
  \vspace*{\onelineskip}
  }
\renewcommand{\midpartskip}{\begingroup
  % \vspace*{\beforechapskip}%
  \begin{adjustwidth}{}{-\chapindent}%
  \hrulefill
  \smash{\rule{0.4pt}{15mm}}
  \end{adjustwidth}\endgroup}

% numeric instead of roman numeral for the part num:
\renewcommand*{\thepart}{\arabic{part}}
% ell like Fonts:
%
\renewcommand*{\parttitlefont}{\normalfont\huge\sffamily\raggedleft}
\renewcommand*{\partnumfont}{\normalfont\HUGE\sffamily\raggedleft}
\renewcommand*{\partnamefont}{\normalfont\HUGE\sffamily\raggedleft}
% this (without the \beforepartskip of the same form) force the part text higher onto the page.
\renewcommand{\afterpartskip}{\vspace*{\fill}}
\renewcommand\printpartnum{}
\renewcommand{\partnamenum}{}
\renewcommand\printpartname{%
  \begin{adjustwidth}{}{-\chapindent}
  \hfill
  \raisebox{11mm}[0pt][0pt]{\partnamefont\partname~\thepart}%
  \hspace*{1em}
  \end{adjustwidth}\vspace*{-3.0\onelineskip}}

\begin{document}

\chapterstyle{ell}
\part{A lot of Foo}
\chapter{Foo}

Foo stuff.

\chapter{Bar}

Bar stuff.

\end{document}
