where environment ranges overlap.
And to explain that a bit: it's not merely "ugly." If all you want is
the printed book, you don't care about the ugliness and simply code this
way to get the desired output. However, we are in the 21st century. We
should be beyond the point where a critical edition is the printed text,
we should think of the typeset result as just one way of representing
the logical structure of the edition. With a syntax as the one Wolfgang
shows above, it is difficult for most parsers to understand what is
meant. Which means most ways of representing such a structure will fail
because it's not a consistent logical construct. And yes, as Pablo
pointed out, TEI itself hasn't reached a clear conclusion on such
points, and they are specialists who have been working on these problems
for quite a while...
In xml one could do
<note tag="bla" range="yes">some text</note> ..... <note tag="bla"/>
i.e. use an empty element to indicate a matching end.
