I'm afraid that I get widow lines in the lines environment.
Is there no way to avoid orphans and widows in the lines environment?
It's a bit ugly, but if the poem consists of individual stanzas, you can put each stanza in an non-bordered frame.
e.g.: % Set up the lines environment to put the contained lines in a frame so they are kept together \setuplines[indenting={yes,small,even}, <-- whatever options you want before={\startframedtext[frame=off]}, after=\stopframedtext]
% Then wrap your stanzas in individual line environments \startlines A maiden fair was seated there, Her hair of fine-spun gold. Azure eyes so clear and bright, So wondrous to behold. \stoplines
A frame will never be split across pages.
BTW this "trick"is on the wiki on the "Verse" page.
If the poem consists of stanzas with fixed number of lines, say 4, then you could also try: \setuplines[inbetween={\testpage[4]\blank}] This will ensure that a stanza does not break across pages. Aditya
