I use memoir class and, in some situations, I use the \sidefootnote command. It works but not the right justification. I've tried with \newcommand*{\sidefootform}{\rightskip=\z@ \@plus 2em} but I've got an error message (command already in use). I've tried with \renewcommand*{\sidefootform}{\rightskip=\z@ \@plus 2em} but error message. I've tried with:

\usepackage{ragged2e}
\newcommand*{\sidefootform}{\RaggedRight}

but no effect at all. Any suggestion? Thanks PM

    I don't understand what you mean by »It works but not the right justification«. The notes are set raggedright by default if that's what you mean? \renewcommand*{\sidefootform}{\rightskip=\z@ \@plus 2em} will work if placed between \makeatletter and \makeatother but only reproduces the default setting. If you want the notes justified add \renewcommand*{\sidefootform}{} to your preamble. – cgnieder Dec 11 '13 at 19:26

You can't do \newcommand*{\sidefootform}{...} since the command is already defined. It is a unfortunate that the memoir manual is a bit misleading here...

\renewcommand*{\sidefootform}{\rightskip=\z@ \@plus 2em} will work provided it is placed between \makeatletter and \makeatother but it will only reproduce the default setting which is probably not what you want.

If you want the notes justified you can add \renewcommand*{\sidefootform}{} (i.e. an empty definition) to your preamble.
