<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am forwarding this interesting symbology / labeling problem to the dev-list, perhaps someone has an idea with the existing symbology options / geometry generators / expressions / some Python magic.</p>
<p>See also <a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2016-June/036842.html">http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2016-June/036842.html</a> </p>
<p>What I am personally also interested in, is getting access to the index nr of a marker. If every marker knew - I am the first, second, third, etc. marker, we could use it in expressions and add dynamic marker content and change properties based on the marker index.</p>
<p>Or, we could have per feature counters/iterators that either allow to calculate n marker or label positions on the fly.</p>
<p>Something to consider for QGIS 3.0 ;-)</p>
