Combinations lacking “”before” and “after” keys (that place content before/after the *entire* combination, rather than the individual cell pairs), I came up with the following ugliness – which worked for longer than it deserved: [...] I added vertical spacing and mid-aligned the content without having to change the sources, that was the idea. However, this fails in LMTX: Undefined control sequence \pack_combinations_start Does LMTX offer finer control over the combinations or do I have to rewrite the sources files (to either use floats or surround the combinations with the required commands)? 1. Your changes don't work anymore because LMTX handles optional arguments in a different way than MkIV. As a result of this change a few commands have disappeared. 2. There are no changes to adjust the vertical before and after a combination environment.
