Dear Pablo,

As you suggested location=inright works for me using LMTX

Hans sent me:

can you put this in cont-new.mkxl and test it with options

\unprotect

\def\page_layouts_place_text_line_left
 {\hpack
    {\ifdim\leftedgewidth>\zeropoint
\page_layouts_left_edge_element\c!righttext\c!rightstyle\c!rightcolor\c!rightwidth
     \fi
     \ifdim\leftmarginwidth>\zeropoint
\page_layouts_left_margin_element\c!righttext\c!rightstyle\c!rightcolor\c!rightwidth\plusone
     \fi
     \ifdim\makeupwidth>\zeropoint
       \page_layouts_text_body_element_e_r_m_l
     \fi
     \ifdim\rightmarginwidth>\zeropoint
\page_layouts_right_margin_element\c!lefttext\c!leftstyle\c!leftcolor\c!leftwidth\zerocount
     \fi
     \ifdim\rightedgewidth>\zeropoint
\page_layouts_right_edge_element\c!lefttext\c!leftstyle\c!leftcolor\c!leftwidth
     \fi}}

 With this both   inright  and  inmargin work in LMTX and MKIV

So everything is working for me now.

Thank you for taking the time,
Charlie
