Hi Pablo,
Thanks to have correct my mistake. It works !
If you take this sample and place the number 8 in \dorecurse{4} in place of 4, you'll see something which is better than our first attempts. Now, it's only the last paragraph of the first page, which is messed up. After a somehow puzzled or erratic Wille zu Macht in the location of this last paragraph, ConTeXt locates very fine the last ones and does what it has to do ! But it's better to say that my code is weak ...

Allright ! Then, I have listening this advice and there is the new code (on the basis of Pablo's work); I've only added declarations lines as \usemodule[newcolumnsets], and \definecolumnset[example][n=2, balance=yes]. The result is almost satisfying, because 'criticus apparatus' is well printed in footnotes, the numbering lines okay and
[...] the first 2 texts (greek and latin paragraphs) quite well printed in two face to face columns. BUT, I don't understand why after a good print, all is messed up. Is it because the closing bracket after \dorecurse{4}{ is only here : \stopcolumns} ?
Hi Jean-Pierre, see the explanation below.
\startcolumns[example] \dorecurse{4}{
\Stephanus{1a} Ὁμώνυμα λέγεται ὧν ὄνομα μόνον κοινόν, ὁ δὲ κατὰ τοὔνομα [...] \stopcolumns}
You start the columns outside the loop and after you stop the columns for the first time, they aren’t started again with each loop. Your code should read:
\dorecurse{4}{ \startcolumns[example]
\Stephanus{1a} Ὁμώνυμα λέγεται ὧν ὄνομα μόνον κοινόν, ὁ δὲ κατὰ τοὔνομα [...] \stopcolumns}
I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
