Hi Thomas, Luigi and Hans, I have a sample (http://www.ousia.tk/hefestio-ctx.tex) that shows problematic page breaks with notes in paragraph form. This is especially relevant for linenotes in critical editions. The compiled version (http://www.ousia.tk/hefestio-ctx.pdf) shows results at twelve, thirteen and fourteen points. I know I’m using a font that is not part of the ConTeXt Suite, but it is the one that gives me the faulty results. Of course, it isn’t the only problematic one. In the source, \setupnote is set in both linenotes to [split=verystrict, scope=page] to avoid having linenotes that refer to a line from the previous page. If I’m not missing something or doing something wrong, I think that a way to solve this (sorry, I don’t know the internals, but the suggestion might be a valid one) is to set a kind of penalty that does the following: if the line in its final position doesn’t observe the space before of the first apparatus, it should be moved to the next page. Isn’t this proposal similar to the way widow and orphans are avoided by setting penalties? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
