Right now, the sidenotes are always right alongside the position of the note. This makes it impossible to use the feature for a layout like this: I made this mock-up using cross-references, the issue with this though is that if the note's position in the text changes to the next frame, the cross-reference remains on the wrong page. So this process is completely manual. Therefore, I would like to request a feature where you can place notes in a frame alongside the text, which you can define in the masterpage (I have created a masterpage with both the main text frame and a notes text frame). Then, I would like to set a paragraph style per note, you can see I have a note with Roman numbering format (so I can differentiate between source references and additional notes). In this example case, I have the notes populated from top to bottom in the second text frame. The second text frame has a different baseline grid and the notes can have unique paragraph styles, which allows for unique numbering.

Hi, I started to work on a book project yesterday. The text was written in word and contains about 250 footnotes. It imports smoothly into the text frames I have created, showing all the footnotes without issue. But when I activate the replacement function in publisher (Text --> Notes) Publisher crashes, i.e. it just disappears from the screen. An info window with a report for Apple appearing a few seconds later is all info I get. I am running Pub 2 on a MacBook Pro M1 with M1pro and 16 GB under macOS Ventura 13.1. I have restarted my system several times but no improvement. This is extremely deterring as the book is my main work right now and the whole design concept relies on sidenotes. Is this a known issue? Thanks
