linenotes space for compress

linenotes space for compress

Hi there,

I have tried to add the compress option for linenotes to a commented
edition that I'm trying to typeset (http://geoffreysteadman.com/).

Sample is attached. And the relevant code for both apparatuses are:

\definenote[dict]
\setupnote[dict][n=2,rule=off, split=strict, inbetween=\hskip1.5em]
\setupnotation[dict][number=no]
\definelinenote[contxt]
\setupnote[contxt][rule=off, paragraph=yes, split=strict,
inbetween=\hskip1.5em]
\setupnotation[contxt][numbercommand=,alternative=serried,distance=1em,compress=yes,compressseparator=]

There is a problem (shown in the second apparatus from pages 1-3):
compression space is also shown at line start with no previous text on
that line. I'm afraid this is a bug.

There is another issue with the blank space between compressed notes.
They have more space than normal notes. This can be observed comparing
the first compressed notes and the first numbered ones. I guess
compressed notes have both spaces from numbered notes (the space before
and the space after the number [inbetween option from setupnote and
distance option from setupnotation]). I think there should be less space
for compressed notes than for numbered notes. I think Idris and Thomas
might give some insight into this issue. My suggestion would be to
reduce the compressed space to the space before the number (inbetween
option from setupnotes) or to enable a compressspace option in
setupnotation (which would make sense mainly when compressseparator were
disabled).

There is another issue on pages 2 and 3: the separation between body and
the dict linenotes is almost non-existent. I'm afraid this may be bug.

BTW, I would like to put the contxt linenote numbers in old style.
\setff{oldn} would be the command, but
\setupnotation[contxt][numbercommand=\setff{oldn}] doesn't work. How can
I get this?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
