In a document with sidenotes and footnotes using reledmac, is there a way to expand footnotes into the margin so that the then-narrower footnote margin is the same as the part of the margin on the outside of sidenotes? Here is an illustration and a solution for footnotes outside of reledmac. I tried adapting that solution with \Xbhooknote and \Xbhookgroup (commented out below), which does not have the desired effect.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[letterpaper, left=1in, right=2.2in, top=1in, bottom=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{reledmac}
\Xarrangement[A]{paragraph}
\Xarrangement[B]{twocol}
\ledrsnotewidth = 1.5in
\rightnoteupfalse
%\Xbhooknote{\hsize\columnwidth\advance\hsize\marginparsep\advance\hsize\marginparwidth}
%\Xbhookgroup{\hsize\columnwidth\advance\hsize\marginparsep\advance\hsize\marginparwidth}

\begin{document}
\beginnumbering
\pstart
\edtext{Lorem}{
    \Afootnote{\lipsum*[1]}
    \Bfootnote{\lipsum*[1-2]}}
\ledsidenote{A side note long enough to wrap to the next line.}
\lipsum*[2-3]
\ledsidenote{Another side note.}

    the main problem is that you use paragraphed and column footnote, which complexify data. I have found a way for paragraphed, not for colum. I look on it. – Maïeul Nov 23 '15 at 09:19

    I have found for the column. But it's require some adaptation on reledmac. I will try to do it tonight. – Maïeul Nov 23 '15 at 09:27

The v2.7.0 of reledmac, send on CTAN on 2015/11/29, provides two new hook,\Xhsize[<s>]{<l>} and \hsizeX[<s>]{<l>} to set the width for respectivly critical and familiar footnote.

<l> is a dimen expression, parsable with \dimexpr.

Cf this MWE

This example use  \verb+maxhnotesX+ and \verb+Xmaxhnotes+ to set the width of familiar and critical footnotes. The width is set to \verb+\columnwidth+\marginparsep+\ledrsnotewidth+, that means footnotes go from the left of the text to the right of the sidenotes.
