Document Classes ⇒ Cannot get \enumitem to do what I need in memoir class

[radiodurans]

I'm trying to replicate a certain look for numbered nested paragraphs with the enumitem package in memoir class.

This is the look I'm trying to achieve:

I've been playing around with settings below, the below is just my current state of experimentation. This is NOT the answer but a sample of the frustration of playing around with all the settings to try to achieve the image

Any help would be appreciated!:

Code: Select all

\setlist[enumerate,1]{label=\arabic*., after=\vspace{\baselineskip}, itemindent=0in, listparindent=\leftmargin}leftmargin=\dimexpr0.25in+\labelwidth+\labelsep\relax, listparindent=\dimexpr0.25in\relax]
\setlist[enumerate,2]{label=\alph*., after=\vspace{0pt}, itemindent=.25in, listparindent=\leftmargin}
\setlist[enumerate,3]{label=(\arabic*), after=\vspace{0pt}, itemindent=0.5in, listparindent=\leftmargin}

here is the full tex code of my current (failed) test:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,oneside,letterpaper]{memoir}
\usepackage{newtxtext}
\usepackage{newtxmath}
\usepackage[USenglish]{babel}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\setlist[enumerate,1]{label=\arabic*., after=\vspace{\baselineskip}, itemindent=0in, listparindent=\leftmargin}leftmargin=\dimexpr0.25in+\labelwidth+\labelsep\relax, listparindent=\dimexpr0.25in\relax]
\setlist[enumerate,2]{label=\alph*., after=\vspace{0pt}, itemindent=.25in, listparindent=\leftmargin}
\setlist[enumerate,3]{label=(\arabic*), after=\vspace{0pt}, itemindent=0.5in, listparindent=\leftmargin}

\setlrmarginsandblock{0.5in}{1in}{*} % Left and right margins

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}
    \item First level item that is indented on the first line. This is a long description that spills over into multiple lines. Here is the second line of the description. And here is the third line of the description.

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

I guess there's a better chance to get a solution if you add the image here as attachment in the forum (instead of some outside pasteboard) and a small but full compilable example (minimal working example) because nobody tests such a \setlist command list just in the head or imagines a LaTeX document around it and sees the issue there.
