Parallel text spacing and numbering

Question

This post is a follow up to my previous post. Here, I ask about two issues:

1. Vertical spacing: How can I control the vertical spacing/padding in each of the cells? I would like to have full control, up to the point of complete elimination of the vertical spacing (marked with arrows in the figure below).
2. Numbering: In addition, I would like for the parallel boxes to have automated numbering (and without producing indented text). In other words, each twoby will be automatically numbered in the outer margin.

MWE:

UPDATE:

I finally figured out that I can control the vertical spacing with aboveexskip and belowexskip. Still need help with the automatic numbering of the parallel boxes/paragraphs.

Answer 1

Here's a solution to the numbering problem. I'm not quite sure how the numbering relates to the larger document, so you may need to fiddle with resetting the counter or not depending on how the numbers are supposed to increment.

I've used the array package to allow pre-column code in tables. It must be loaded before bidi which means before polyglossia in your example.

I've created a boxcount counter which simply counts the boxes. If this needs to be reset every set of boxes, then you will need to add this. As it stands it simply increments throughout the document. If the numbering resets each \twoby then add \setcounter{boxcount}{0} to your \twoby definition.

I've also changed your fonts to fonts I have.

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{expex}
\usepackage{array}  % added this package must be loaded before bidi/polyglossia
\usepackage{polyglossia}

Answer 2

The spacing is introduced by the expex macro \exdisplay. It can be controlled with a preamble setting, such as\lingset{aboveexskip=-8pt, belowexskip=-7pt}.

To address the numbering, in the \twoby macro, I added a

\llap{\smash{\raisebox{-5pt}{\Large\thetabindex}\hspace{10pt}}}

to the left-hand tabular token list and a

\rlap{\smash{\raisebox{-5pt}{\hspace{10pt}\Large\thetabindex}}}

to the right-hand tabular token list.
