Dear list members,

I am trying to recreate a layout for some dictionary with ConTeXt. It is a two column layout with line numbering between the columns, that is, there is only one numbering for both columns. How can I do this with ConTeXt?

I would need either an option to activate line numbering only for one column, which, as far as I can see, does not exist; or I could use the "command" option for "\setuplinenumbering" to make the line numbers dissappear for one column, but then I would need some way to decide whether a line number belongs to the first or to the second column, some command that returns to me the number of the actual column, which I can't find, too.

For illustration, I give a minimal example:

\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\setupbodyfont[9pt]

\setupcolumns[
    n=2,
    distance=1cm,
]

\setuplinenumbering[
    step=5,
    method=page,
    location=right,
    align=flushright,
    width=.25cm
]

\starttext

\startcolumns
\startlinenumbering
\dorecurse{10}{\input lorem}\par
\stoplinenumbering
\stopcolumns

\stoptext

In the result, there are (as is to be expected) line numbers between both columns and also to the right of the second column. How can I get rid of the latter ones?
