General ⇒ single spaced examples with expex

[znlznl]

Hello all,

I'm formatting linguistics examples with the expex package. My body text needs to be double spaced, the glossed examples need to be singled spaced. Using advice from http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.t ... stics/1205, I'm trying the following code in my preamble: \lingset{everyex=\singlespace}.

This makes the example single spaced, but also pushes it down below the line with the number. Any advice for how to move it back up, so that the first gloss line is aligned with the number? (I can make it happen using \begin{singlespace}\end{singlespace} around every example, but this is a long paper and I'd rather not!)

MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespace

\usepackage{expex}
\lingset{everyex=\singlespace} % remove double spacing in examples

\begin{document}
\ex 
\begingl
\gla el padre es alto //
\glb the father is tall //
\glft `The father is tall.' //
\endgl
\xe
\end{document}

Found assistance elsewhere. The fix is small --- you need to use \lingset{Everyex=\singlespace} (with a captial 'E') not \lingset{everyex=\singlespace}.

Code: Select all

    \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

    \usepackage{setspace}
    \doublespace

    \usepackage{expex}
    \lingset{Everyex=\singlespace} % remove double spacing in examples

    \begin{document}
    \ex
    \begingl
    \gla el padre es alto //
    \glb the father is tall //
    \glft `The father is tall.' //
    \endgl
    \xe
    \end{document}
