Indent pagenotes with multiple lines in memoir

Question

I'm writing a non fiction book using the memoir package.

I've been playing around quite a lot, and I must say I'm very satisfied with Peter Wilson's guide.

Pagenotes are great because they allow me to have all notes at the end of the book, divided by chapter, with continuos numbering.

There is one thing though I can't seem to find: how to change the indentation of multiples lines in the endnotes (so that the text of the the second and successive lines is aligned with the text of the first line, not with the note number).

With normal footnotes I could do this:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\usepackage{scrextend}
\deffootnote[1em]{1.5em}{1em}{\textsuperscript{\thefootnotemark}}

\begin{document}

\blindtext\footnote{\blindtext}

\end{document}

How do I achieve the same result with pagenotes?

Answer 1

Updated answer:

My first alternative thought was to set \hangindent to a suitable value but since you mentioned that you have lists in the notes I propose using a list for formatting. This seems a bit improvised, though:

\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\prenotetext{%
  \list{}{%
    \setlength\leftmargin{2.5em}%
    \setlength\topsep{-\baselineskip}}
  \item}
\renewcommand*\postnotetext{\endlist\bigskip\medskip}
\makeatother

\renewcommand*\idtextinnotes[1]{#1.\vspace*{-\baselineskip}}
\renewcommand*\notenuminnotes[1]{#1.\vspace*{-\baselineskip}}

\makepagenote

\begin{document}
\chapter{One}
This is some arbitrary\pagenote{%
 \lipsum[1]
 \begin{itemize}
   \item bla
   \item blub
 \end{itemize}
 \lipsum[2]} text.

This is some arbitrary\pagenote[123]{\lipsum[1-2]} text.

\printpagenotes*
\end{document}

Original answer:

Do you mean something like this? This will prevent pagebreaks in a note, though...

\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{lipsum}

% redefine \prenotetext and \postnotetext:
\renewcommand*\prenotetext{\hfill\begin{minipage}[t]{\dimexpr\linewidth-2.5em}}
\renewcommand*\postnotetext{\end{minipage}\medskip}

% only that we can see how large note numbers look:
\renewcommand*\idtextinnotes[1]{#1.\space}

\makepagenote
\begin{document}
\chapter{One}
This is some arbitrary\pagenote{\lipsum[1]} text.

This is some arbitrary\pagenote[123]{\lipsum[1]} text.

\printpagenotes*
\end{document}
