Hi Mikael,
on a second thought, I think the particular nature of parallel text is
that they have to be placed together (using L and R for the sake of
simplicity):
\startsubcolumnset[L]
\samplefile{knuth}
\stopsubcolumnset
\startsubcolumnset[R]
\samplefile{zapf}
\stopsubcolumnset
\flushsubcolumnsets[spread]
But in some cases, such as notes, this is impossible (if you have a
Swedish text facing its English translation, the Swedish text cannot
have the note from the English translation).
Maybe a way to avoid placing subcolumnsets one right after the other is
to include an unique identifier, such as in:
\startsubcolumnset[L][first-note]
\samplefile{knuth}
\stopsubcolumnset
\startsubcolumnset[R][first-note]
\samplefile{zapf}
\stopsubcolumnset
\flushsubcolumnsets[spread]
This way, ConTeXt knows what to place in parallel to a text with the
same identifier.
Would it be possible to implement an option similar to this?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
