How can I place two figures next to each other without using a 
\startcombination ... \stopcombination group?
I now have this, but it is not what I want:
\gebruikexternfiguur[kortoctaaf][cekort][type=eps,hoogte=30mm]
\gebruikexternfiguur[gebrokenoctaaf][gebroken][type=eps,hoogte=30mm]
\plaatsfiguur
    [hier]
    [fig:klavieren]
    {Enkele varianten van het groot octaaf}
    {\startcombinatie[2*1]
    {\kortoctaaf}{kort octaaf}
    {\gebrokenoctaaf}{gebroken octaaf}
    \stopcombinatie}
I want to have the two figures numbered as seperate, independent 
figures, but when using a combination, the whole combination is treated 
as one figure and gets only one number and one label.
XXXX      XXXX
X  X      X  X
XXXX      XXXX
fig.n      fig.n+1
I've consulted the manuals and searched the list archives, but I have 
not found a solution.
tnx in advance,
I now know how to suppress the caption of the combination. By using the 
option "none".
Now I have to generate the captions of the two figures with the correct 
numbers and the reference-labels by hand. So my questions:
- How can I increment the figure counter?
- How can I print the current figure number?
- How can I add labels for referencing to the two figures?
- Is there a better approach to do this?

I have two small figures. So I really want them next to each other. It's 
a waste of space to put them underneath each other.
