Dear Thomas, Luigi and Hans, here is my first sample to the critical edition project of Thomas. I think it is a bug. This is the code: \setuppapersize[A8] \starttext \startlinenumbering This text shows a \startlinenote[one]{bariant H} variant \stoplinenote[one]. This text shows a \startlinenote[two]{bariant H}variant\prewordbreak\stoplinenote[two]. \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Last word from body text from linenote isn’t hyphenated unless \prewordbreak is added. Could you add this internally, so it isn’t required to add it to every linenote? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
