Great! Thanks a lot, Wolfgang!
Yet… I have some other questions:
- What about a simplified \page inside the lemma (not really common, but
anyway…)? Adding
\appendtoks\def\page[#1]{}\to\simplifiedcommands
is ignored.
- How can I tweak the note mechanism to put the apparatus notes inside
one single paragraph, concatenated by some arbitrary separator (\quad or
-- or something similar)? (Eventually I‘d like the lemmatas which appear
on the same page to be grouped in a paragraph) - I guess it should be
somewhere in strc-not.mkiv but must have missed it…
Thanks again for the effort!

That’s a \Apparatus{\bf qui\crlf te \page long lemma}{That’s a variant

And here comes \Apparatus{another one}{the second one}.

(Same holds true for every macro with arguments.)
You can use \simplifycommands, see my example below.

them as separators after each apparatus entry? I tried to \let them to \relax,
which ends in luatex getting stuck when it tries to import the .en-file.

maybe someone could provide me with a hint where to start from?
You can use contexts own note mechanism to collect the data and place them
later in your document.

That’s a \Apparatus{\bf lemma}{That’s a variant reading…}. \input tufte
But then there’s a blackrule \Apparatus{\blackrule[width=5cm]\crlf and a
linebreak}{-- which we don’t want to repeat in the apparatus.}.
