mmm... I've not done it, but just thinking... what about a scriptlet class, a rewindable datasource.

Keep a counter for detail, reseting it every page, and detail band has print when expression counter < the number u want.

Then on scriptlet class new page method (or page break, can't remember) rewind datasource so next page starts to print the data u've not printed yet.

 

A small example:

10 records/page.

Rewindable DS.

Detail prints when current_count <=10;

current_count resets to 1 every page;

Scripttlet class, new page method:

Rewind to start;

for each page already printed, move 10 forward.

 

Hope it helps.
