In the memoir class, is there a way to get the \sidebar notes to be in paragraph style? I am looking for a similar effect that fnpara provides to footnotes.
I have included an image of what I would like my sidenote column to look like.

Does this come anywhere close to what you seek? (You may or may not want to reset the counter sbrefs in the \showsidebar invocation, as I did)
\documentclass{memoir}
\edef\sbar{}
\newcounter{sbrefs}
\setcounter{sbrefs}{0}
\newcommand\addtosidebar[1]{%
\addtocounter{sbrefs}{1}%
$^\alph{sbrefs}$%
\edef\sbar{\sbar$^\alph{sbrefs}$#1 }%
}
\newcommand\showsidebar{%
\sidebar{\sbar}%
\edef\sbar{}%
\setcounter{sbrefs}{0}%
}
\begin{document}
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth%
\addtosidebar{Gn 1:1}
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth%
\addtosidebar{Ex 3:2; Ex 3:16}
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth%
\addtosidebar{Jn 3:16}
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth%
\addtosidebar{Mt 1:17}
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth
In the beginning, etc. God created the heaven and the earth
\showsidebar
\end{document}

\sidebarautomatically starts the notes at the top of the text block. I have added an image of what I mean by paragraph style. The subsequent note will start on the same line as the previous note, if possible. – themarshian Oct 18 '12 at 20:13
