    Great question, Dieter. Yes, that would have been preferred. Unfortunately, it was an editorial issue that should have been done earlier on in the process, which was outside my control as the typesetter.

    UPDATE: We decided to leave the en-ref numbers as is, sadly. Some of these guys sit right within the middle of a paragraph.

    After investigating, I’ve come to believe this ”range” just isn’t possible in InDesign as of CC 2020. The only workaround was to either condense all the notes as we mentioned; or “fake it”, and set the numbers in No Fill, and manually type and kern the superscript “12-23”, which was not very fun as en dashes rarely have superscript support. I realize now this could have been manually set/corrected from the beginning if the enref were not dynamic/linked.

    Thanks for your quick reply, David. Yes, I did take a look through the forum and through Peter K’s scripts page. Unfortunately, a lot of the scripts deal with converting footnotes, and this is such a weird, specific issue dealing with endnotes, that I’m not sure I’d be able to use them successfully (I also lack the knowledge to make a custom script). There was nothing I could find in the Document Endnote Options panel in InDesign either.

    Although, it seems like this isn’t the first time someone’s wanted something similar:
