Hi all, I'm trying to do a (re-)layout for an older book which holds a few 
challenges for me. Hopefully I can find some help here.

In this book I need to track 2 kinds of footnotes, sidenotes and the original 
page numbering (I don't replicate the old text flow but put comments where 
pages originally change). My footnotes follow the current layout/flow, not the 
original layout.


My prime issue are having 2 sets of footnotes. One set of numbering (numbered 
1,2,3...) is reset every section, which I figured out(\setupfootnotes 
[way=section]). A second set results out of comments the original Author placed 
into the margins. They are counted a, b, c... and are reset every page. Both 
are placed at the bottom of the relevant page. A set of sidenotes in the form 
"R nnn" is used from 1 to the end of the book to indicate the pages and 
positions where these sidenotes where placed. Currently I am not linking the 
second set of footnotes i.e. the author notes and the sidenote counter. Though 
it might be a nice luxury to generate a list of all author notes.

I looked at lists and I suppose footnotes use the list mechanism in the 
background. But I don't get anywhere with that. Trying to keep track of the 
author notes, the placing with \placelist[AuthorComment] doesn't seem to work 
in the example below. Besides, I don't see how they would appear or be placed 
as footnotes.

In short: How do I get 2 sets of footnotes: one per section, one per page?

Extensive (sorry) example below.

Thanks Martin
