I have a document which uses the eledpar package to edit parallel texts. On the even pages, I have a original text from an author and on the odd pages I have my commentary of the text. All is synchronized by the eledpar package.

My problem is concerning footnotes. I have very big footnotes on the original text side (even pages). LaTeX automatically splits these footnote on two (or more) consecutive pages. I would like to split these footnote only between even pages. I don't want a footnote about the original text to be split on the commentary side (odd pages).

How can I achieve this?

    @karlkoeller This solution does print footnotes only on even pages but doesn't split a big footnote only on even pages (a big footnote started on page 2 will continue on page 3 and not on page 4 which is what I want). – ppr Nov 21 '13 at 15:23
  • @Reanimation THe topic you indicated is not answering to my precise question about splitting. – ppr Nov 21 '13 at 15:25

Actually, there is no way to have any standard split of footnote with eledpar. The split of footnote make page are not synchronous.

I am trying to make a version with not flowing through pages. I could add option for you problem. Please post a message on https://github.com/maieul/ledmac/issues/17.

Please, next time you have a question on eledmac/eledpar, use the ledmac tag. I am looking on the RSS feed on ledmac tag, so I can see your questions.

The new version of eledmac-eledpar 1.19.0-1.13.0, now send on CTAN, fixes this issue.

Basically, you must:

  • set the vertical size allowed to the notes, with \maxhXnotes[<series>]
  • set that you want notes only for right pages, with \onlyside[<series>]{<side}

for example 

\maxhXnotes{0.8\textwidth}
\onlyXside{R}

Read § 4.4 of the new handbook of eledpar for more details.

ps : now, we have an eledmac and an eledpar tag.
