How to flow a marginpar that does not fit to next page (or: how to write text with lots of margin notes)?

I analyse an interview transcript and would like to add plenty of notes in the margin. Sometimes these margin notes will not fit on the current page, and thus I would like them to flow to the next page. The marginfix package is supposed to fix this, but obviosly I have too many marginpars and LaTeX runs out of memory ("LaTeX Error: Too many unprocessed floats.").

I have now searched StackExchange (and Google) in vain; thus I ask the masterminds of LaTeX if a solution is possible?

Just found basically the same question: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/63167/how-to-make-sure-the-images-properly-float-on-the-marginpar – bluebirch Feb 11 '13 at 10:23
And \usepackage{morefloats} is at least a temporary relief from the "Too many unprocessed floats" error from marginfix. – bluebirch Feb 11 '13 at 10:26
I know it may not fix the problem, but have you tried increasing the margins for the marginpar notes? Might ease it a little. – Nathanael Farley Feb 11 '13 at 11:05
Yes, @NathanaelFarley, but that is a poor-man's-solution. :-) – bluebirch Feb 12 '13 at 10:51
Would placing \marginpars on both margins help your situation? – Steven B. Segletes Jun 24 '13 at 18:22
Based on the first comment by the OP, marking as a dupe. – Joseph Wright Aug 07 '13 at 11:03
