ledpar-syncing with large apparatuses #6
Comments

Thank you for your post. Now I have no time to see that. Maybe in Januar ? |
Hello, I can't see how to optimize the calculation of sync, because there is no calculation but an empiric test. Ledpar test the position of the courant texts on the page, and if this position is more important than the value \ledthegoal (wich depends of goalfraction). And so there is no calculation, I can't see when ledmac could know that the syncing is not possible |
Thanks for taking the time to look into this! As it is obviously more or less impossible to fix the automatic alignment in these heavily unbalanced texts, could you perhaps consider adding something like a I wouldn't mind at all to do a bit more of manual fine-tuning and help ledpar to find the right alignments. But as ledpar is working right now, this is extremely cumbersome as it involves moving text-blocks around or even inserting "invisible" |
Could you precise the function of \ledparpagebreak ? I think I won't have time before this summer … |
I think of this more or less in the same way as the normal Ideally writing I imagine that this is everything but trivial, so might be it would be easier to implement a solution where the user manually has to write a pagebreak-command in both streams and ledpar would disregard its own ideas for pagebreaking on the double page in question. |
I wanted to note that we too are having this problem. It seems that ledpar sync comes unstuck towards the end of each of our various chapters; I haven't been able to find the culprit (we too have a large critical apparatus on the one side), but absent a more intelligent guessing function on ledpar's part, the solution is to allow the user to have manual pagebreaks. |
I just wanted to say that I also would like to have an option for a manual pagebreak. There are two related questions on tex.stackexchange.com asking for a command like \ledparpagebreak: Thanks for your work, Maieul. |
yes, I know, but actually I find no solution, and I have no time to search :-( |
The solution was, I think, in the documentation. Any \Pages create a pages break. So the solution is The probleme is the lake of continued numbering. The documentation speak about memordump, but I could'nt use it in my test. |
I am afraid this is not what I (and I guess also the other users here) suggested and hoped for. I am (We are) looking for a command which we can use INSIDE \pstart ... \pend. \Pages cannot be used inside these. |
I think it's not possible |
add a page break inside a pstart is a strange idea. Because when you break a page, you break a paragraph |
but eledmac itself does break the content of the pstart when it does not fit on the page automatically. I am looking for a command that allows me to do manually what eledpar does automatically anyway. |
eledmac break the content as a page break a parapgraph. I don't know how to explain in english... |
exactly! and how does it do it? |
you may have a look at these attempted slutions: one of these solutions is by Peter Wilson himself. |
The problem is that I don't understand what you would like to obtain at the end. I would like to have a picture of the expected result. With the automatically page break, the pstart is broken as a paragraph should be in a normal text, and so it's a full paragraph. But with a manually page break, the pstart is broken as if he has a \ inside. And so it's not one full paragraph, but two tiny paragraph. |
And the option proposed by Peter Wilson does'nt work, as you said. |
I know … but I have no idea how can we do it... |

the problem with this is that it'll add a paragraph break (i.e. a Peter On 09/15, Maïeul Rouquette wrote:
