Thanks. I'll try that. But, iirc, these had some other drawbacks.... I'll check if it works for my use case.
Is there a way to have blanks in the tabulate?

Hi,
I need to typeset two poems side by side. Usually, I use the tabulate environment for typesetting parallel texts. However, for poems this does not quite work as tabulate does not seem to allow blanks between the stanzas. See MWE below. Am I missing someting? Is there a better way to achieve this?
How about columnsets or paragraphs? \definecolumnset[Zwei][n=2] \startcolumnset[Zwei] \startlines Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight; \stoplines \column \startlines I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight. \stoplines \stopcolumnset \defineparagraphs[Zwei][n=2] \setupparagraphs[Zwei][1][ width=.45\textwidth, distance=2em, align={verytolerant,stretch}] % width of 2nd column is calculated automatically \startZwei ... \nextZwei ... \stopZwei Hraban ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
