Further questions about linenotes

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

Hi all,

further experiments with linenotes have brought up two further  
questions; one specific, one general. Here comes:

1. Is it possible to have linenumbering automatically reset its  
numbering to 1 at the top of every page? I have a dim recollection  
that something along these lines was asked on the list recently, but  
can't find anything in the archive.

2. General: I had to experiment quite a bit with the before= and  
after= keys of \setupnote to make them really do what I wanted.  
Here's what I found:

a. before=\blank[1cm] % texexec will fail with an error

b. before={\blank[1cm]} % does nothing

c. \def\myblank{\blank[1cm]
    before=\myblank % works

I guess it has something to do with TeX's expansion mechanism, but I  
found it confusing, and I think (hope?) that others will find it a  
bit confusing too. Is this intentional, can it be made easier for users?

All best

Thomas
