questions on linenotes/notes

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Hi there,

I'm trying to typeset the following kind of document:

\setuppapersize[A6]
\definelinenote[significa]
\setupnote[significa][rule=off,paragraph=yes,numbercommand=,inbetween=\quad]
\setupdescriptions[significa][display=yes,location=serried,distance=.5em]
\definelinenote[contextualiza]
\setupnote[contextualiza][rule=off,paragraph=yes,numbercommand=,inbetween=\quad]
\setupdescriptions[contextualiza][display=yes,location=serried,distance=.5em,]
\starttext
\startlinenumbering
En un lugar\significa{lugar: place} de la Mancha\contextualiza{La
Mancha: Spanish region}, de cuyo nombre\significa{nombre: name} no
quiero\significa{querer: want} acordarme\significa{acordarse:
remember}\contextualiza{acordarme: Cervantes wants to forget his past}...
\stoplinenumbering
\stoptext

It contains to kinds of line notes. I need them to have line numbers in
the notes, but this doesn't work with latest beta (adding
\setupnotation[significa][number=yes] doesn't work either). How can I
have line numbers in the line notes?

In both line notes groups, there can be many notes that come from the
same line. Would it be possible that the number is only printed on the
first note from each line? I mean, instead of having:

1 lugar: place  1 nombre: name  2 querer:want  2 acordarse: remember

it would be extremely helpful to have the following option:

1 lugar: place  nombre: name  2 querer:want  acordarse: remember

How could this be achieved?

In the sample above, \significa is a kind of dictionary in each page. I
wonder whether it would be possible for these notes to be displayed in
two columns and alphabetically ordered.

According to the ConTeXt Reference Manual, items can be displayed in
columns and there is a sorting mechanism for lists, but I don't know how
this could be applied to notes. Is this possible?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
