Hans et al,
did \column ever work or is it supposed to? I.e. I guess I should be able "jump" to the next column in
\startcolumns
....
\column % next column
....
\stopcolumns
Without the \column, it works only for longer paragraphs, but e.g. not with \startlines - I'm trying to typeset lyrics, and the column *always* breaks within a verse instead of between, even if all the verses have the same number of lines, so that it would be easily possible to balance cleanly.
this \column is kind of tricky; balancing works best when grid is enabled; you can try to add \crlf's to influence column split a bit Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
