Hi there, with the following code: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \definelinenote[A] \setupnote[A][rule=off, paragraph=yes, split=strict, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[A][numbercommand=,alternative=serried,distance=1em,compress=yes,compressseparator=] \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{500}{body\A{note} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext I hit two bugs (ConTeXt - 2012.12.10 23:20): Body and notes aren't properly separated. Not being any compress separator defined, the lines that don't start with a number, start with a blank space. There is also an issue that I don't know whether it could be fixed. Is there any way to make the distance option from \setupnotation elastic? (I mean "1em plus .1em minus .1em".) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
