Is it possible to use \startlock and \endlock in Ledmac to number sentences instead of lines?
lepidus
to use sentencenumbers instead of linenumbers as references for my
critical and explanatory apparatus. I thought of using the \startlock
and \endlock commands as described in Wilson manual (pp. 12-13). I have
marked up the text as follows, but the commands seem to work randomly
(sometimes yes sometimes no). Any ideas? Thank you very much for any
suggestions on how to use these commands: this would be the simplest
and easiest solution.
\beginnumbering
\pstart\noindent \startlock
Ahimè, quanto è cosa dignissima di laude [... text continues] ogni
celeste e angelica natura in perfida, nequissima e diabolica si
pervertiria%
\endlock
. %
\startlock
Ahimè, quanto è dolce [... text continues] fia la vita loro eterna et

\endlock

\startlock
Che altro è, [... text continues] et adversi%
\endlock
? %
\startlock
Clausule hora ho audite, [... text continues] e mi corrode%
\endlock
. %
\pend
\endnumbering
John Burt kindly suggested this alternative option [plus another using
poemscol]:
The first would be something like this: define a counter to hold the
sentence number, and a counter to hold the turn number for each
character. Then define a token register, let's call it \noteheader,
which can, during each speech, hold the name of the speaker, the turn,
and the sentence number. At the beginning of each speech, issue a
command (let's call it \turnstart) that specifies the speaker,
increments the turn number of that speaker, and resets the sentence
counter to one. At the beginning of each sentence issue a command
(let's call it \sentencestart), which increments the sentence counter,
clears the \noteheader token register, and writes into it the name of
the speaker, the turn, and the sentence. Then, using as a model the
commands for writing notes with overlapping lemmas, you need to define
note commands for each of the species of note your edition will
contain. This command will give for the lemma of the note the contents
of the \noteheader register (\the\noteheader, I think), followed by the
rest of the lemma, followed by the command ledmac uses for the rest of
the note.

giving me a hint on that issue. My goal is to get rid of linenumbers,
forcing lineno to number the sentences instead, printing the
sentencenumbers in the margin. I know that you (and Peter Wilson)
explained how to number paragraphs, but I would like to be able to
number the sentences without breaking a line. I thought \startlock and
\endlock would help me in that direction.
Question 28 of the ledmac Q&A (thank you!) explains how to place the
numbers WITHIN the text not in the MARGIN. Is there a way to change
the commands keeping the same (or a similar) system of coding?
Stefano
lepidus
it is not possible to place the number in the margin I would probably
use it. The nice effect that \startlock and \endlock (if the were
working properly) would allow is that the numbering would be
automatic. I have little experience on how changing counters, though.

You could change the new command \bibleverse (qu. 28) like this:
\newcommand{\bibleverse}[1]{%
\ledsidenote{#1}%
\setline{#1}%
}
Section 11 of the ledmac manual explains sidenotes.
lepidus
if I have two "bibleverses" on the same line?
\startbibleverse \bibleverse{1} In labore fructus. \bibleverse{2} In
amore fructus. \stopbibleverse
Is there a way to put on the same margin something like 1, 2? Making
the footnotes working properly?
\startbibleverse \bibleverse{1} In \edtext{labore}{\Afootnote{amore}}
fructus. \bibleverse{2} In \edtext{amore}{Afootnote{labore}} fructus.
\stopbibleverse
1. labore] amore 2. amore] labore

\noindent\startbibleverse\bibleverse{1}In labore fructus etc. etc.
etc.\stopbibleverse
It works, but I get some space (which is not connected with
carriage_return or blank spaces in the code) at the beginning of the
paragraph. The subsequent lines work fine. Should I place something
like \llap or similar?
[2] I tried to automatize the numbering (which is useful if later, in
rereading the text, I need to make changes in the numeration, like
adding or eliminating one \bibleverse withouth having to change the
numeration for the rest of the paragraph)
\newcounter{bverse}\setcounter{bverse}{0}

Add a comment sign after \setcounter{firstlinenum}{999} in the
definition of \startbibleverse. The space should disappear.

I'm getting a "Runaway argument" error message, which often indicates
that a closing brace was forgotten. In fact, a closing brace is missing
after \setline{\thebverse}.
Dirk-Jan Dekker

Ah I see... I tried the new definition and it seems that something is
wrong in the code of \ledsidenote. If two \bibleverse commands are
issued shortly after each other, only one sidenote gets printed; if
there is enough text between the \bibleverse's, both get printed. You
could look in the ledmac manual for clues.
Dirk-Jan
lepidus
not work. I don't know why. I am experiencing the same problem as
before: randomness! That is the numbering sometimes occurs correctly
sometimes it does not. Perhaps \startlock and \endlock don't work
consistently when applied to several sections.
Again:
[1]
\newcounter{bverse}\setcounter{bverse}{0}
\newcommand{\bibleverse}{%
\addtocounter{bverse}{1}%
\ledsidenote{\thebverse}%
\setline{\thebverse} %
}% now it is here the missing }%
At the beginning of each section I wrote:
\setcounter{bverse}{0}
to reset the counter, but sometimes the numbering of the "bibleverses"
starts at two, sometimes correctly at one, sometimes at three and so
on.
Moreover:
[2]
The footenotes continue to refer to the linenumbers and not to the new
"bibleverses".
[3]
John Burt kindly made me realize that marn.sty allows to number more
than one sentence in a line, putting on the margin 1, 2, 3, ... But it
is not possible to use marn.sty within ledmac. I would switch to
poemscol, but I have already formatted my text with footnotes in
ledmac...
Thank you very much for you time,
Stefano
P.S. If some of you could tell me: "no this is not possible to do with
ledmac" at least I knew it.

You can make ledmac refer to the sentence number instead of the line
number by adapting the \printlines macro (see lines 1234--1243 in
ledmac v0.7). The manual explains the seven arguments of \printlines.
Peter Wilson
"Dirk-Jan Dekker" <djde...@see.sig.below> wrote in message
news:slrndg4hkt....@oecumenicum.lan...
The clue in the ledmac manual is in section 11 where it says you can't
have two sidenotes on the same side for a single line.
Peter W.
lepidus
"If two, say, \ledleftnote, commands are called in the same line the
second htexti will obliterate the first. There is no problem though
with having both a left and a
right sidenote on the same line."
This means that it is not possible to print in the output, say, <1,2>
on the same margin? This is the standard for Italian prose text
editions that use sentence numbers as references. Isn't it possible to
define an "if-else" macro to print two references on the same line? I
am sorry, I cannot do it alone...
The following code works fine for numbering the sentences, if one
sentence occurs in one line. I need to keep the right margin for
"marginalia". The problem here is that these numbers do not show up in
the footnotes. I am still trying to understand how the \printlines
\setlines mechanism work in order to make ledmac using the sentence. I
am also trying to modify the \edtext macro to meet that goal. Am I
loosing my time?

Alternatively, you can have the sentence numbers in the running text
--- perhaps as superscripts --- and put the paragraph numbers in the
margin. (That's how they do it in the Bible, mostly, isn't it?).
John
bu...@brandeis.edu
Here's my thought:
In the code to ledmac there is a line where it \vsplits off a line from
the box, appends a line number, then writes it to the main vertical
list. I think I'd do this:
define a token register.
define the sentence command to append ", <the sentence number> to that
token (if there are other numbers in it, or just to append the number
if there isn't.
\renewcommand the line where ledmac adds the line number to
1. put in the contents of the token register instead of the number
and
2. clear the token register.
As I said, I haven't searched through ledmac to find this moment, but I
bet it would work.

sentencenumbers using the \bibleverse format. But this solution is much
better, since I can change one paragraph of a long turn without beign
force to alter the rest of the sequence: everything is done
automatically!
One problem, though. The allignment of the marginalia still does not
work. It shows up in the OP a half lineheight lower. Why is so?

This is becoming more problematic, because I think I have found
(theoretically) a possible solution for getting two numbers on the left
marging in correspondence of two sentences on the same line. Here is my
thought (could you tell me if it may work?):
In this situation, the ledmac manual suggests to use in one case the
left margin and in the other the right one. If I change the \linenumsep
for \ledrightnote to a huge negative value in pc to make it go on the
other side of the page before the regular sentencenumber placed on the
left margin, maybe we can solve the problem. We would then create the
footnote for the apparatus using the right marginal note with the huge
\linenumsep. Does that make sense?
Thank you again!
Stefano
Dirk-Jan Dekker
I'm glad to read that it's working for you.
I don't really understand why the notes align properly in the left
margin but appear too low in the right margin. The code for both margins
looks the same except for the letters 'l' and 'r' in the command names.
The hack that you propose could work, but, alternatively, you could try
to change this line:
\global\setbox\l@drp@rbox=\vbox to\z@{#3\vss}}}% aligns on top line
into this (try some values until the note gets aligned correctly):
\global\setbox\l@drp@rbox=\vbox to.7\baselineskip{#3\vss}}}%
Dirk-Jan
P.S. In my previous posting I accidentally left \linenum{|\thesentence}
twice inside the argument of \edtext (in PO1 and in AR1). Of course, you
don't need to define \linenum manually anymore, because it is already
incorporated in the revised definition of \edtext.
lepidus
regarding \edtext. Is it possible to leave the \edtext as default and
implement the variation manually at the first occurrence of the note
for each turn? In this way the turn label (PO 1, AR 1 etc.) would
appear in the footnotes only to indicate the turn change, leaving the
rest of the notes marked just with the sentence number?
I know that you have suggested something similar for linemarkup. In one
of your examples, you have omitted to repeat the same linenumber if the
variation occurs on the same line. Can I use the same principle to omit
[1] the turn label (if it is the same), [2] the sentence number (if it
is the same)?
Stefano

Yes, this is possible, but then you would somehow have to store the
speaker and the sentence number until the next footnote. The use of
\ledplinenum in ledmac.sty and the redefinition of \para@vfootnote
in the first sample edition on my web site could probably provide
some clues on how to accomplish this.

P.S. Many thanks again. I have tested the new macros to number the
sentences (or sub-paragraphs if you like) on my entire text and
everything work fine! I guess your solution constitutes a reply also to
the question that somebody, back in July, asked about sentence numbers
for an edition of Lucian's "Dialogi marini" (without obtaining any
suggestion, though).
