this is a one-time task, I do not mind searching for the optimal
breakpoint by hand.
All my questions of April 29 answered! Thank you all for
Dear All,
I tried the mm macros.
In general, the idea to have a horizontal object spanning the full page
width between two portions of text in two columns can be realized with mm.
The .1C 1 macro with the argument "1" does the trick. There is one
caveat, though. mm does not balance columns, so
Another follow-up:
I just checked the one-column mode across the macro packages ms, me and
mm, and lo and behold, the mm man page tells me:
1C [1] Begin one-column processing. A 1 as an argument disables
the page break. Use wide footnotes, small foot‐
notes may be
Dear All,
in a follow-up to myself:
If I understood where the whole .1C definition ends, I could copy that
block into an own macro definition and from there eliminate just those
commands which flush the old page and begin a new page. I could even
ignore the tests for floats and footnotes

It works as desired in many situations, and this is how -me

Mom has .COL_NEXT (quad and break) and .COL_BREAK (force justify
["spread"] and break).

Thank you for the clarification.
The problem is that it is hard to say under that circumstance what the

Mom doesn't support this, either.

Dear all,
groff_ms(7) states that "All of them (i.e. .1C, .2C and .MC) force a
page break if a multi-column mode is already set. However, if the
current mode is single-column, starting a multi-column mode does _not_
force a page break.
So,
.2C
Does not force a page break here, assuming that
