Multiple layout problem with sidecaption, subbottom and memoir

Question

This is not the first time i post (see here and here) about sidecaption environment error and memoir class, but i continue to have lot of problem with my layout.

I search a way to :

• make correct caption text size for all subcaption (subbottom for memoir) and sidecaption in the document \scriptsize
• make correct automatic line return for the subcation text to set the two Image on the same line,
• as you can see centering my table doesn't seem to work ...

As you can see in the MWE, final result is catastrophic.

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt,twoside, openright]{memoir}
\usepackage{mwe} % just for dummy images
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath,mathtools}
\usepackage{amstext}    % defines the \text command, needed here
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{showframe}

\newsubfloat{figure}{\centering}
\newsubfloat{table}{\centering}

\sidecapmargin{outer}
\setsidecappos{t}

\usepackage{ragged2e}

\renewcommand*{\sidecapstyle}{%
 \ifscapmargleft
    \captionstyle{\justifying\scriptsize}%
  \else
    \captionstyle{\justifying\scriptsize}%
  \fi}

Answer 1

I finally solve my problem, here you can find the result code using the cryptic documentation of memoir :)

Correction of font size :

\captiontitlefont{\normalfont}% title font
\precaption{\raggedright}% for Caption N
\captiondelim{\newline}% newline*
\captionstyle{\raggedright}% for title
\setlength{\belowcaptionskip}{\onelineskip}

Correction of the margin problem use : \sidecapmargin{outer} and \setsidecappos{t}

I find information about different type of spacing between subfigure here

Centering of figure is defined for each figure, because i don't know how to do that globally.

\sidecapmargin{outer}
\setsidecappos{t}

\newsubfloat{figure}{}
\newsubfloat{table}{}

\captiontitlefont{\normalfont}% title font
\precaption{\raggedright}% for Caption N
\captiondelim{\newline}% newline*
\captionstyle{\raggedright}% for title
\setlength{\belowcaptionskip}{\onelineskip}

\usepackage{ragged2e}

\renewcommand*{\sidecapstyle}{%
 \ifscapmargleft
    \captionstyle{\justifying\scriptsize}%

    \captionstyle{\justifying\scriptsize}%
