Wrong indents (ragged left) for verses following a verse that is as width as \textwidth

[tweh]

There seems to be a bug, as you can se in the image the verses of the second stanza are set ragged left but indeed they shouldn’t be …

\documentclass{scrbook}% [1] using book instead

\usepackage{eledmac}
\usepackage[%
    shiftedpstarts% [2] disabling this
]{eledpar}

\setstanzaindents{1,0}% [3] replacing 1 by 0
\setcounter{stanzaindentsrepetition}{1}

\begin{document}
\begin{pages}
\begin{Leftside}
    \beginnumbering
    \stanza
    xxxxxx xx x xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx. xxxxx &
    xxxx xxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx.
    \&

    \stanza
    xxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxx xxxxxx, xxxxx &
    xxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxx xx xxxx: &
    xxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx, xxxx xxxxxxx, xxxxx xxxxxxx &
    \&
    \endnumbering
\end{Leftside}
\begin{Rightside}
    \beginnumbering
    \stanza
    xxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx, xxxx xxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx. &
    Die Hand selbst brachte als hellklingende Stellvertreterin der Zunge die Stimme hervor.
    \&

    \stanza
    xxxxx xxx xxx xxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxx xxx xxxxx xxx xxxx, xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxx &
    xxxxxx xxx xxx xxxx xxxäxxxxxx xxxx xx xxxxx xxxxxxxxxx &
    xxxx xxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx xxx, xxxx xxxxx, xxx xxx xxx xxxxxxxxxx &
    \&
    \endnumbering
\end{Rightside}
\Pages 
\end{pages} 
\end{document}

I guess the problem is that the second verse has nearly exactly the same width as \textwidth, removing some letters will solve the problem. Furthermore [1] replacing the document class (which changes \textwidth), [2] disabling shiftedpstarts and [3] setting the first indent to 0 will “solve” the problem but all these are no option for me …

I hope you got a quick fix for this because the book should be published very soon.

I will try this night, and if I can't debug, this week-end

[tweh]

That's great. Merci!

Good morning,

I got two additional questions:

1. The counter stanzaindentsrepetition seems not to work fully correct. When I use
   \setstanzaindents{1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,%
   0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,%
   0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,%
   0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,%
   0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}
   everything is fine (exempt the known issue and question 2 below ...) but with
   \setstanzaindents{1,0}
   \setcounter{stanzaindentsrepetition}{1}
   I get a “missing number” error for each verse ... any ideas?
2. The first number in \setstanzaindents is used to indent the part of a verse running in the next line, but this line should be indented by a fixed value (i.e. \stanzaindentbase) but flush right (or ragged left). This was the behavior but it seems to have changed and I’m not sure. As I understand the manual of eledmac a line should never flush right and always be indented by n_\stanzaindentbase, right? And if this is the designed behavior is it possible to achieve that an additional line ail be set flush right , i.e. by defining \hangingsymbol as \hspace_{\fill}?

Kind regards,
Tobi

For you additional question, please open 2 distinct tickets.

While trying to set up a MWE for the first question it came out the the problem was caused by a creepy aux file (of an other \included chapter) so theres no problem anymore.

I posted #139 for my second question. I hope you can understand what I was trying to say :-)

[maieul]

First, you must not add space between your punct and the &.

So

`xxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx, xxxx xxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx.&``

and not

`xxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx, xxxx xxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx. &``

and

`Die Hand selbst brachte als hellklingende Stellvertreterin der Zunge die Stimme hervor.&``

and not

Die Hand selbst brachte als hellklingende Stellvertreterin der Zunge die Stimme hervor. \&

Second, could you try https://github.com/maieul/ledmac/compare/issue138 > download the zip, run the .ins file to obtain the .sty file, put the .sty file above your .tex ? I hope this will solve your problem

[tweh]

Works fine in the MWE and in the real document too, thank you very much!

Maybe you can add (at least I didn’t found it) to the manual that there must be no spaces before & and \& since in tabulars, which is where the normal TeX user knows the & from it doesn’t matter, fruthermore I like to have the \& in its own line, but a % seems to work here:

\stanza
   vers 1&
   vers 2%
\&

[maieul]

yes, I will add this, this week end or this night when I will prepare the new release.

[maieul]

I have reopened this issue. Could you confirm to me that the branch "issue138" solve this problem and allow space between the end of the verse and the & ?

[tweh]

Seems to work fine! With the current CTAN-version I had the problem that the right line number was missing, which is kind of strange since I didn’t saw this problem in my real document, but with this branch the number is shown and every thing works.

[maieul]

thanks !

[maieul]

I will publish on CTAN tomorrow, I think.

[tweh]

Thanks … maybe you can have a look at #257 before publishing the new version :-)
