I've added that alternative as well to http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/notes/notes.html It certainly sounds like a relatively straight forward way to implement, so maybe you are only left with wanting to have really short notes appear on the actual page as a footnote or a margin note. /C -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-790 91 37 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr Mechatronics lab, Dept. of Machine Designhttp://www.md.kth.se

I think that the last two will not happen soon, since as soon as this is implemented, people will find a lot of `creative' uses of this and demand new features :) So such a feature requires a lot of planning.
