Set arbitrary chapter numbers in a PDF of a Quarto book

Can I set arbitrary chapter numbers in a PDF of a Quarto book?

I am creating course notes. I have one chapter per .qmd file and bind them into one PDF with the following _quarto.yml:

book:
  title: FINA 6203
  subtitle: Investment Analysis
  output-file: fina-6203
  chapters:
    - index.qmd
    - bkm_ch_01.qmd
    - bkm_ch_03.qmd
    - references.qmd

I suppress the number on index.qmd with {.unnumbered} so bkm_ch_01.qmd is chapter 1. Can I force bkm_ch_03.qmd to be chapter 3? I plan to skip a handful of chapters and want to align the notes and textbook chapter numbers.

My solution was to suppress chapter and part numbers. The following snippet in my _quarto.yml file suppresses chapter and part numbers:

format:
  pdf:
    number-depth: -2

Setting number-depth: -1 suppresses chapter numbers only.
