For the setup, I was thinking of \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuparranging[2*2] What would be the best way to achieve this? A few requirements: 1. The left-hand pages will have the Greek text, the right-hand pages the German translation. 2. In general, the German translation will be somehwat longer than the original, so I need to be able to insert manual breakpoints, but I want these breakpoints to occur in midparagraph so the last line of the page isn't truncated. 3. Would it be possible to have two sets of footnotes, one for the text, one for the translation? 4. I guess that I'll need to use a grid to make ligns align, right? Any help, as always, will be appreciated. Best Thomas
