Hello,

I want to have a multi-chapter book, each chapter of which has standard numbered headings at various levels. So far, no problem.

In addition to this, I want to add a second set of numbers which run across the entire book and are independent of the other numbering system. Heading1 paras should be numbered sequentially (�1, �2, etc.) and other, lower level paras should be alphabetised (a, b, etc.) within that. I want these numbers to appear in mirrored margins.

(This is a standard system used in grammars in my field.)

Seems that the mirroring suggests I use side heads. But after that, I'm unsure what to do. Can I set up counters at the book rather than chapter level? Or do I have to do it all by hand once the book is finished?

Thanks for any help you can offer.
