%\widthX{\columnwidth-3em}
% This resizes the fn. block by cutting 3em off the *right* margin. How to adjust the *left* margin?

Description
I'm using non-paragraph style familiar footnotes in a reledmac apparatus. I'd like to set both a left and right margin for this footnote area which differs from the left and right margins of the page itself.
I can effectively do this for a right margin using the reledmac \widthX command. However, I do not see a command to set a left margin for the entire footnote block. Can you please add such a feature? I think it would enhance the flexibility of reledmac's footnotes significantly.
