Page Layout ⇒ Memoir and spacing between footnotes

[meho_r]

Hi,

I recently started to learn how to use memoir class and I get working most of things but one is still problematic: by default, there is a space between footnotes in memoir (like an empty line between them). I looked at the manual and saw that that should be regulated by \footnotesep (although not mentioned explicitely, I'm just assuming). But, whatever I do with \footnotesep, I can't get rid of that space/empty line. Any ideas?

This is a very mysterious behaviour which I can comprehend. I suspect the lipsum package to cause it because my MWE doesn't reproduce that.

The blindtext package with similar features for generating text doesn't have this effect on the footnotes. I'm afraid that you will have to build a new MWE.

Thanks a lot, Thorsten. I tried it again with your example and some real text and there is no spacing now. And, more importantly, \footnotesep now works as expected. I don't know why, but it is lipsum package that causes this behaviour.

Thanks again.

Best wishes,
