Hi there, I have tried to add the compress option for linenotes to a commented edition that I'm trying to typeset (http://geoffreysteadman.com/). Sample is attached. And the relevant code for both apparatuses are: \definenote[dict] \setupnote[dict][n=2,rule=off, split=strict, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[dict][number=no] \definelinenote[contxt] \setupnote[contxt][rule=off, paragraph=yes, split=strict, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[contxt][numbercommand=,alternative=serried,distance=1em,compress=yes,compressseparator=] There is a problem (shown in the second apparatus from pages 1-3): compression space is also shown at line start with no previous text on that line. I'm afraid this is a bug. There is another issue with the blank space between compressed notes. They have more space than normal notes. This can be observed comparing the first compressed notes and the first numbered ones. I guess compressed notes have both spaces from numbered notes (the space before and the space after the number [inbetween option from setupnote and distance option from setupnotation]). I think there should be less space for compressed notes than for numbered notes. I think Idris and Thomas might give some insight into this issue. My suggestion would be to reduce the compressed space to the space before the number (inbetween option from setupnotes) or to enable a compressspace option in setupnotation (which would make sense mainly when compressseparator were disabled). There is another issue on pages 2 and 3: the separation between body and the dict linenotes is almost non-existent. I'm afraid this may be bug. BTW, I would like to put the contxt linenote numbers in old style. \setff{oldn} would be the command, but \setupnotation[contxt][numbercommand=\setff{oldn}] doesn't work. How can I get this?
