\title{Critical notes}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
This file provides examples of critical notes with eledmac. 
A critical note is associated to a lemma, marked by \verb+\edtext+, and referenced by the line numbers of the lemma.
Here, we use only one series of critical notes, the series A. If a critical notes refers to a long lemma, we can use \verb+lemma+ to obtain an abreviates form.
