His code, which I have slightly modified and changedthe name to veelo, is below. I have also exercised editorial privilege on his comments.I thought I’d share a new chapter style to be used with the memoir class. Thestyle is tailored for documents that are to be trimmed to a smaller width. Whenthe bound document is bent, black tabs will appear on the fore side at the placeswhere new chapters start as a navigational aid. We are scaling the chapternumber, which most DVI viewers will not display accurately.Bastiaan.In the style as I modified it, \beforechapskip is used as the height of the number and\midchapskip is used as the length of the black bar.\newlength{\numberheight}\newlength{\barlength}\makechapterstyle{veelo}{%\setlength{\afterchapskip}{40pt}\renewcommand*{\chapterheadstart}{\vspace*{40pt}}\renewcommand*{\afterchapternum}{\par\nobreak\vskip 25pt}\renewcommand*{\chapnamefont}{\normalfont\LARGE\flushright}\renewcommand*{\chapnumfont}{\normalfont\HUGE}\renewcommand*{\chaptitlefont}{\normalfont\HUGE\bfseries\flushright}\renewcommand*{\printchaptername}{%\chapnamefont\MakeUppercase{\@chapapp}}\renewcommand*{\chapternamenum}{}\setlength{\beforechapskip}{18mm}\setlength{\midchapskip}{\paperwidth}\addtolength{\midchapskip}{-\textwidth}399
