Perhaps more information would be helpful: The index comes in this component file: \startcomponent c_B2-IndexLocorum \setupheader[state=high] \BibTitle[IndexLocorum]{\WORD{index of passages}} \placeregister[Passage] \LevelBHead[KiddPassages]{Passages in Kidd's collection} \placeregister[Kidd] \page[makeup] \stopcomponent The registers are defined in an environment file as follows; %Passages \defineregister[Passage][Passages] \setupregister[Passage][n=3,% balance=yes,% pagestyle={\switchtobodyfont[9.6pt]\em},% textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[9.6pt]},% criterium=all,% interaction={pagenumber},% before={},% after={}% ] \setupregister[Passage][indicator=no,distance=0.5em,before={}] %Passages from Kidd \defineregister[Kidd][Kidds] \setupregister[Kidd][n=3,% balance=yes,% pagestyle={\switchtobodyfont[9.6pt]\em},% textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[9.6pt]},% criterium=all,% interaction={pagenumber},% ] \setupregister[Kidd][indicator=no,distance=0.5em,before={}] The problem is the page break leaving about 3 vertical inches of white space immediately after the LevelBHead and putting the entire Kidd index of some 20 lines on the next page. How can I prevent the page break and split the Kidd index? I am using MKII. Alan On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 4:17 PM, Alan Bowen wrote:

I have been experimenting for a while with \placeregister and \setupregister and can find no way no prevent page breaks before a register. Simply inserting \page[no] does not seem to work.

So can anyone suggest a way to do this in MKII?
