Scenario: I have several chapters in my book and in each chapter I have subheadings which should be numbered from 1 to x for each chapter. 
Now what I need is: in the footer or header, there should be a numbering like 3-4 which means third chapter and fourth subheading. I can use the chapternumber variable for the first number but how do I get the second one ('4')? 
I know I will have a para-style for the subheadings that counts automatically, but how do I get JUST the number to display in the header/footer. 

Additional question: If I have to create para-styles for the header/footer, I probably wont add them to the catalogue. how can I get a list of these invisible styles afterwards, or can I make a paragraph-style be excluded from the list, AFTER is has been created?
