Thanks for the suggestion Alan!
I tried out the pagecolumns approach. According to the manual it seems to
handle floats a bit better than the columnsets and I do not require spans right
now. However, here another weird thing is happening. After the end of the
pagecolumns an extra page is flushed even though it does not contain any
material. Why? MWE is below, output of latest beta attached.
Cheers, Henri
