Dear Hans, I'd like to introduce a friend into composing critical editions using ConTeXt. I have made some tests myself, and I'd like to know a couple of issues about paragraphed linenotes before start explaining. The first issue is about note split. When I started using ConTeXt, I realized that footnotes might be placed in the next page (unless split=verystrict is set). Fearing the same results in linenotes, I set this, but this lead to wrong separation between body and notes (at least on my examples). My question is: does the default split value for paragraphed linenotes keep all notes in the same page? The second question is on the space before linenotes that separates from text body. With your fix from last week, things have improved a lot. You told me is tricky. If you allow me a (naive) question: wouldn't it be possible that ConTeXt would check whether body lines respect the before distance of the first paragraphed linenotes and move as many lines that don't respect this distance to the next page? There are another issues. I'd love to use ConTeXt for critical editions. But I need to know both issues first. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

linenotes are just notes so no fundamental difference apart from tricky referencing paragraph nodes are somewhat complex because we need to fake vertical height while adding horizontal content the possibilities and limitations are mostly related to limitations in tex itself of course i'll do my best to bypass/correct problems when possible using lua magic Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Would samples help you with this task? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
