Dear Heba,

Have you tried using \footnotemark and \footnotetext to deal with
footnotes within this environment? I think that's what I've used for
textual variants in poems. I wouldn't wonder that the traditionalpoem
environment will not work in a footnote anyway. I've never tried setting
whole lines in the footnotes, just short-phrase variants.

Best wishes,

Gareth.
