Re: [eledmac] Problems with reledmac/reledpar

[<wiewiorka2004-varia@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear Maïeul:

Thank you very much for your help. So is it possible that the crashing was a result of this missuse (pstart and stanza with &)? Normally I'd hope a mistake-message and not a crashing.  Anyway, thanks for the explanation. 

Talking about stanza... I don't understand what problem resolves the "astanza" environment (reledpar manual,  p. 14).. Would you recomend me to use astanza instead of stanza in this kind of edition? Would it be better? Why? 

Only one question more: How could I add a blank (empty) line between the  stanzes of one poem? I obtain no result with vspace or \\[amount cm.]. I know another ways, but normally referred to the whole document, and not to its parts.     

Thanks  a lot again.

Best regards,

Josep

PS: I have seen you have another list on http://tex.stackexchange.com/  . Would you prefer that I write, if I'd have more problems, via that web site or may I use this mail-way?

Dear Josep,

effectivly, I did'nt receipt your previous answer. So, no, it is ok.

You don't need to use \pstart…\pend if you use \stanza and &. Each verse is, by itself, a \pstart…\pend structure.
Use
\setstanzaindents{7,0}
\setcounter{stanzaindentsrepetition}{1}

To have not to repeat the 0 and infinity time. Cf § 8.3 of reledmac handbook.

Best

> 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).

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.
