I am working on an apa6 document and need to place a multiple-page table with table notes (not footnotes). I thought the best way to achive that is using longtable threeparttableand threeparttablex packages. However in the apa6 documentation it is said that threeparttable is loaded automatically, and about longtable:
longtable: If you must use long tables (exceeding one page in length)
try this option [of apa6 doc cls, see MWE – entne] (but it may not work in all contexts). Do not load longtable
yourself because of precedence requirements with the endfloat package. Copy
the file APAendfloat.cfg from the “config” folder of your apa installation
to the working folder of your document (not in your texmf tree), and rename it to endfloat.cfg so that endfloat will recognize it. The supplied
APAendfloat.cfg file will also be necessary in conjunction with rotating
package (and its \sideways command) to produce rotated tables.
I followed these instructions. Nothing is said about threeparttablex there, though.
Now, the code I built results in the table itself (with notes) being set up correctly, but not where it should be placed in the document. It is placed at the very end of it. I figured out that this depends on the endfloat.cfg I copied in the directory following the instructions above (see block quote above). If I delete it from the directory, the table is in correct position. Also, if I, against instructions, load longtable not as a class option, but as a regular package, the table is in correct position, too, wether endfloat.cfg being in the directory or not.
Here is my working example:
\documentclass[man,12pt,a4paper,noextraspace,donotrepeattitle,longtable]{apa6} % 12 pt., doppelter Zeilenabstand usw.
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} % für ä,ö,ü,Ä,Ö,Ü,ß usw.
\usepackage[english,ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % für exakte Darstellung von Umlauten wie Ä

Edit 1:
Well, in the meantime I found this Link about doing multiple-page tables with ctablepackage. But I think there is no possibility to include subcaptions for page continuation with this. Also I am not sure if ctableis the best choice for doing all tables (you can't use it with threeparttable at the same time due to \tnote command).
Edit 2:
The first problem about table notes is solved thanks to the first answer. But I still encounter a significant problem with the positioning of the table in the document. I edited my explanations above. Second, I edited a modified MWE putting the table in appendix A and add appendix pages B and C after it, so that it doesn't come last in the document. Try the endfloat.cfgand package loading options I mentioned above to see what I mean.
Best Answer
With
threeparttablexyou have to useTableNotesinstead oftablenotes:Now the result is as desired, i.e. below the table and in the same width:
