Dear Hans, many thanks for the latest beta, that fixes the line range numbering. I’m afraid there are still two issues with compressed linenotes when the compressseparator is missing. Having linenotes from the same line separated with only blank space is a standard practice in critical editions. I’m not a philologist and I don’t have access to a library on a regular basis. If samples from http://context.aanhet.net/epen2007/share/idris/cr-apparatus.pdf are allowed, from three possible examples, figures 4.2 and 4.4 only include blank space as separator for “compressed” linenotes and figure 4.6 includes a separator (||). Here a sample (I know there is no hyphenation on body text) that shows the two issues I’m having problems with: \setuppapersize[A6] \setuppagenumbering[location=,] \definelinenote[Critico] \setupnote[Critico][paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[Critico][alternative=serried, compress=yes, compressseparator=, width=broad] \newcounter\Contadorvar \def\apcritico#1#2{\increment\Contadorvar% \startCritico[Varia:\Contadorvar]{#2}#1% \stopCritico[Varia:\Contadorvar]} \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{22}{\apcritico{origin}{variant} \apcritico{not original,}{variant} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext If compressseparator is suppressed (such as in the sample), the space before the missing separator is removed, but the space after the separator remains. This default is buggy when the compressed linenote starts at the beginning of the line (as it is the case on lines 4-9 in the apparatus). But even with linenotes starting at other places in the critical apparatus, there is another issue: compressed linenotes have more blank space before than uncompressed ones. I think this might be visually misleading in some cases. I think there is a simple way to solve both issues: if compressseparator is set to none, the space after should be removed in all cases. Would it be possible to implement this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
