space between sidenotes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi all.

The space between two sidenotes is a little bit small if one has a lot of 
citations. Maybe it is 
possible to increase the default space between two sidenotes by a tiny bit. I 
used r128 and attached 
a test page to demonstrate what I mean. 

The first line is:
\documentclass[b5paper, symmetric, justified, sidenote=raggedouter, 
marginnote=raggedouter, 
caption=justified, citation=raggedouter]{tufte-book}

Hey, Andy.

You're right, this is a bug.

To work around this bug (until I get time to fix it), you can adjust the
\marginparpush length.  The default value is 10 pt, which would be one blank 
line. 
The bug, however subtracts 10 points right off the bat, so there's effectively 
a 0 pt
space between sidenotes.

To adjust the spacing, place the following line in the preamble of your 
document:

  \setlength{\marginparpush}{20pt}% work around issue 41

Once this bug is resolved, you'll want to remove that line (or adjust it 
accordingly).

Thanks for the report!
