In a particular Folder I have 7 mp3 files and 7 cover jpg files named JJ0,JJ1,JJ2,JJ3,JJ4,JJ5,JJ6 and I would like to assign JJ0 to the first (alphabetical) mp3 file, JJ1 to the second, and so on. I have tried 2 actions:

1. JJ$num(%\_counter,1).jpg \> marking the 7 mp3 files this action results in cover JJ0 being assigned to ALL files
2. JJ$num($add(%\_counter,1),1).jpg \> marking the 7 mp3 files this action results in cover JJ1 being assigned to ALL files

Which would be the correct syntax to use?

the counter is called %\_counter% and not %\_counter

As %\_counter% always starts with the value 1, I think that  
JJ$sub(%\_counter%,1) would lead to JJ0

Is there a way to explicitly specify which one the first jpg file is? For ex. JJ0 or JJ1 or JJ7 ?

Do you mean some kind of offset?  
Then use the $add() function in which you add offset-1.
