[texhax] FW: FW: Re: bigfoot.sty and paired footnotes

[Uwe Lueck]

Better: 

     \newcommand{\note}[2]{\footnotemark#1\addtocounter{footnote}{-1}}{\footnote{#2}}

This may be already acceptable, since "2-2" is somewhat redundant. 

The main virtue of ednotes and ledmac is referring by line numbers instead of footnote numbers, but this seems not to be needed here. The facility seems to be missing in bigfoot, but bigfoot may suffice here. As I understand David Kastrup, bigfoot breaks pages (and footnotes) better than manyfoot, but it may depend on the subject whether you realize this difference.

Correction:

     \newcommand\note[2]{\footnotemark#1\footnotemark}{\footnote{#2}}

ledpar is essentially used for translations. The "paired footnotes" facility is neither implemented in ledmac currently (as it is not in ednotes). 

For comparisons of ledmac and ednotes, google for ledmac and ednotes at the same time.
