Marginal notes

[Michael Chabon]

I have been using Lyx for about five days and am up and running okay.

I am trying to produce a long manuscript that incorporates many, many 
marginal notes, many of them very long (i.e., more than a page).  Right 
now I'm using Word and its text boxes to do this, and it's a pain in 
the neck.

Here is what I would like to do with Lyx

1) have marginal notes that extend across page breaks

and if possible:

2) number the marginal notes just like footnotes

Thanks for your help.
