Prevent odd break line in pagenotes

Question

Using memoir class, pagenotes package. Here is a screenshot of the problem:

Number 6 should follow the rest of the text, hence be in the following page.

This is the code I'm using:

% Document size 
\documentclass[a5paper,11pt,titlepage,openright]{memoir}

\setlrmarginsandblock{22mm}{15mm}{*}

Answer 1

Using your code, you create a new list with every page note that is displayed. In fact, the visible enumeration is completely separate from the list itself, hence the page break between the numbering and the actual page note.

Instead of trying to fit your page notes into the generic realm that memoir provides, I've modified the base function \mem@printpagenotes (called by \printpagenotes) to set the contents of the notes file within an enumerate, and each item in the file is set using \item.
