Dear Maïeul:
I had sent to you an answer to your prior email, but I see now that I have done it from an email other than the one I used to subscribe to the list. So, I'm afraid you have not received my answer and for that reason I write a new email... with new informations.
The firs thing, a piece of code:
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}
%Comment the following to have chapters numbered without interruption (numbering through parts)
%\makeatletter\@addtoreset{chapter}{part}\makeatother%
\usepackage{polyglossia,fontspec,xunicode}
\usepackage{libertine}
\setmainlanguage{catalan}
\setotherlanguage{polish}
\usepackage{reledmac}
\usepackage{reledpar}
\sethangingsymbol{[\,}
\maxchunks{5120}
%\numberlinefalse
\begin{document}

\beginnumbering
\setstanzaindents{7,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}
%\setcounter{stanzaindentsrepetition}{0}
%\pstart
%\begin{center}
%\textbf{\textit{\huge{Liryki zebrane}}}\\[40ex]
%\end{center}
%
%\textbf{\Large{Pieśń ludzi wesołych}}\\[4ex]
%\pvp{Pieśń ludzi wesołych}
\stanza
My, ludzie weseli,&
kochający radość wdzięcznie i po prostu&
jak młodego mężczyznę lub młodą kobietę,&
rozpoczynamy tę pieśń o cierpieniu,&
pieśń na cześć cierpienia.\&
\stanza
Nie jak asceta, ale jak higienista,&
nie jak święty,&
ale jak człowiek uprawiający&
codzienną gimnastykę,&
chwalimy&
moc jego i boskie powściąganie,&
a także ociężałość, bo wspaniałe jest&
jak bardzo głęboka woda.&
I samo w sobie zawierając się, nie pragnie&
niczego z zewnątrz.&
Samo sobie wystarcza.\&
\stanza
Ani nie niszczy go, jak pięknośći, czas.&
Ani nie niszczy go, jak mądrości, śmierć.&
Z ciał{} zagasłych przeskakuje&
w żywe, wnika w nie,&
jak zapach właściwy, jak&
dusza odpowiednio ukształtowana.\&
%\pend

Nosaltres, la gent alegre,&
que estimem la joia amb agraïment i senzillesa,&
com si fossin un home o una dona joves,&
iniciem aquesta cançó sobre el patiment,&
aquesta cançó en honor del patiment.\&
\stanza
No com un asceta, sinó com un higienista,&
no com un sant,&
sinó com qui practica&
la seva gimnàstica quotidiana,&
lloem&
la seva potència i la seva contenció divina,&
i també la seva pesantor, car és magnífica&
com l'aigua ben fonda.&
I, tot contenint-se en si mateix, no anhela&
res de fora.&
Es basta a si mateix\&
\stanza
Ni l'anihila, com fa amb la bellesa, el temps.&
Ni l'anihila, com fa amb la intel·ligència, la mort.&
Des dels cossos extints salta&
als vius, els penetra,&
com l'olor pròpia, com&
una ànima formada com cal.\&

In the code included in the prior email you probably have not received there was a mistake referred to the versification (I had forgotten an "&" at the end of a line). Moreover I didn't add the "\setstanzaindents{7,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}" command because I didn't understand it was manadatory.. Now, with this renewed version of the code, I can compile without problems *unless I activate the pstart/pend commands*. If they are activated, so *the compilation process is infinite and I must interrupt it by closing the program I use* (TexStudio on Ubuntu 14.04). As I wrote in the prior mail I use the last version of your program (downloaded from CTAN the same day of my firs contact).
I have a new question after adding "\setstanzaindents{7,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}". Must it allways be so? If I had a stanza with, for example, 100 verse, would I must write 100 zeros too? I supose it isn't so, but I'm not sure. The texts I'm working with have normaly no indentation. I find it would be more logical to indicate only the lines which have indetation, for example: 5(3) = verse number five has a 3cm indantation. I supose, however, I have something missunderstood.
Thanks a lot for your attention and excuse me for the mistake with the previous mail.
Best regards,
Josep

Dear Josep,
could you provides a MWE ? Could you also tells us which version of reledmac / reledpar do you use ?
With what you explain, it is not possible to help you.

I am using for the first time reledpar package (thoug I had a certain experience of ledpar) and I work on a Ubuntu platform. I do not know why, when I try to compile using both XeLaTeX or pdflatex, I obtain some absurd errors, such as:

Or, better said, it starts an infinite process. If these commands are commented, it gives many mistakes but finally compiles fine ... I'm working with two texts as a test, before doing bigger efforts. The truth is I do not know where to look. I have read the manuals that come with the program and I have looked around the internet... but no result.
