because transparent overloads the mechanism that sometxt (textext)

will handle that (just comment the withcolor)
Ah, I see. I don't need it at the moment as I can use textext with the

Thanks for your explanation. I hope I'm not completely mistaken if I
conclude, that there are some advantages when using \sometxt in MkII,
but in MkIV both variants are basically the same.
