left/right page lineup

[Robert Alessi]

Hello Karl,

Maybe you should use the verse package for poetry and the paracol
package for parallel typesetting, as in the attached files.

paracol uses the starred version of \begin{column} to have texts
printed in such a way that the tops of all paragraphs are vertically
aligned.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Robert
