Large apparatuses (more than half the page) on *one* side make `ledpar` go out of sync after some pages.
In most cases setting `\goalfraction` to an extremely high value restores the syncing, but leaves too big amounts of white space on the pages.

Even though the attached example may seem far-fetched, text- and note-distributions like this do occur in real editions.
At a `\goalfraction` of 0.65 the code compiles and stabilises without `The right page has ended on a left page.`-errors, but the sync is lost on page 18/19 of the resulting pdf.
The blocks are eventually aligned correctly with `\goalfraction` set to 0.35. (cf page 72/73)

If the calculation of the sync cannot be optimised -- and I very much hope it can! -- perhaps you could at least implement an error-message like `ledpar-syncing not possible. Try to lower goalfraction.`?
