Tufte Book uses \marginpar for all the sidenotes, footnotes etc., so you can use the package marginfix to automatically adjust the vertical placement of a side note. I don't know if someone wrote a package to allow page breaks in \marginpar but that would be interesting. Attached is an example file, this is the first page of the example file of Tufte Book that is shipped with LyX, written by Jason Waskiewicz, and edited slightly to demonstrate the package functionality. Please read the documentation of the package for further details.

Adjusting the vertical placement of margin notes
I write most of my longer copy using the (beautiful and eminently readable) Tufte Book and Tufte Handout document class. One advantage of this is that footnotes are displayed as margin notes. If a note is added near the bottom of the page, though, this causes the note text to extend beyond the lower edge of the main text column. Obviously, the note should either scoot upwards, enough for its last line to land at the same vertical position as the main text column’s last line, or the note should break off at that vertical position, and continue on the next page. But I don’t know how to accomplish this. -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
