this won't work... at least not for me.
i only need the baseline grid to make lines even across frames!

i don't know how other DTP solve this, but i agree that having multiple baseline grids in a document would be really welcome.

the question is: how to implement it!

a long time ago, i proposed to allow drawing several baseline grids on the page (or, probably better: on a master page).

i'm not sure anymore that it's really a good idea...


however. the discussion is here:
