Hi Aditya, Thank you for your reply and for the link to your article: your explanations are cristal clear and the solution for me is to use what you explain. There is only one issue remaining, when using your code, that is: \definetextbackground [leftbartext] [ location=paragraph, mp=mpos:region:leftbar, width=broad, frame=off, framecolor=darkred, rulethickness=.5pt, leftoffset=2ex, % rightoffset=2.25ex, % topoffset=2.25ex, % bottomoffset=2.25ex, background=color, backgroundcolor=white, ] \startuseMPgraphic{mpos:region:leftbar} draw_multi_pars; draw_multi_side; \stopuseMPgraphic then when there is a footnote the leftbartext runs into the footnote, between the number and the footnote itself, and the result is not nice. I did not find a way to push the footnote and its number a little to the right, or the leftbartext to the left. Best regards: OK

Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks for your answer. I tried Hans' suggestion to use \textbackground instead of background: indeed it solves the problem of incorrect page breaks, but it seems that \setuptextbackground « leftframe=on » is not honoured, that is one cannot say for instance:
\setuptextbackground[frame=off,leftframe=on]
while using \background this would be possible.
