How to avoid a line spacing issue using the reledmac package's footnotes with line spacing commands from memoir or setspace?

Question

I have an issue in which using reledmac together with either memoir's line spacing commands (e.g. \DoubleSpacing) or setspace's \setstretch command does not produce the desired result.

Specifically, I want to adjust the line spacing of the main text without affecting the line spacing of footnotes. Normally, the above mentioned commands function in this way. However, reledmac introduces its own footnotes of type \footnoteX (familiar footnotes) and \Xfootnote (critical footnotes), and these reledmac footnotes are affected by the line spacing commands.

See this minimal working example in which I use three types of footnotes: the standard \footnote (which functions as expected) and then reledmac's \footnoteA and \Afootnote (which do not function as expected):

\documentclass{memoir}

\DoubleSpacing

\usepackage{reledmac}

\begin{document}

\beginnumbering
\pstart

    Some text. Some text. \edtext{Some text}{\Afootnote{Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text.}}. Some text. Some text.\footnote{Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.} Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text.\footnoteA{Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text.}

\pend
\endnumbering
    
\end{document}

This is what the footnotes look like:

How can I avoid this issue? I tried in vain to figure out how to customize line spacing in the reledmac footnotes using the reledmac documentation. Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: In my actual project, the familiar footnote set \footnoteA should be in two columns. The solution should not prevent the two columns from being aligned with each other.

Answer 1

It is apparently necessary to switch back to single spacing before a familiar or critical footnote is set. So, with the memoir class and its commands for spacing:

Edit for addressing the additional problem raised in the comment, \bhookgroupX{\SingleSpacing*} is also needed when notes are set in more than one column (see reledmac: in double-spaced document, single-spaced two-col footnotes not aligned)

\documentclass{memoir}

\DoubleSpacing

\usepackage{reledmac}

\Xbeforeinserting{\SingleSpacing*}
\beforeinsertingX{\SingleSpacing*}
\bhookgroupX{\SingleSpacing*}

\arrangementX{twocol} %for demonstrating it with two columns

\begin{document}

\beginnumbering
\pstart

Some text. Some text. \edtext{Some text}{\Afootnote{Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text.}}. Some text. Some text.\footnote{Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.} Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text.\footnoteA{Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.Some text.
