Hans, I have a document http://tex.ousia.tk/hippocratic-oath.pdf (source as attachment to the PDF document itself). The special kind of notes are the first group in two columns. I need that their space and location in page are calculated by the notes mechanism. And also that the notes mechanism selects the range of notes that belong to the page. I don’t need any reference, not to note number or to line number. Since it is a vocabulary list, what I need is a minimal register with "indicator=no, before=, after=". So it would be possible to have well-balanced columns and words alphabetically sorted, which is essential in a vocabulary. I guess that \definenote[NAME][alternative=register] and \setupregister[NAME][indicator=no, before=, after=] could be a good way to invoke these page-related vocabularies. Would it be possible to have such a feature? This would the way to have page vocabularies. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
