Hi Andres, I have a working solution and another approach by Wolfgang: This is not a MWE, and it contains probably a lot of unnecessary stuff. Since Hans fixed some problems since, it might have become much easier. E.g. I seldom need my FNVOffset correction any more.
% I thought I could setup those two together, but it didn’t work \setupmargindata[inmargin][ location=right, stack=continue, align=flushright, style={\switchtobodyfont[6pt]}, ] \setupmargindata[inouter][ location=right, stack=continue, align=flushright, style={\switchtobodyfont[6pt]}, ] \def\FNVOffset{0} % Negative vertical offset of footnotes in lines % Redefine this as necessary (e.g. if long footnotes overflow into the footer) \def\MarginNote#1{% \inmargin[ voffset=\dimexpr-\FNVOffset\lineheight\relax, width=\ColWidth, align=flushleft, ]{% \inframed[ width=\ColWidth, align=right, frame=off, offset=overlay, strut=yes, ]{#1}% }% } \define\PlaceFootnote{% \inmargin[ voffset=\dimexpr-\FNVOffset\lineheight\relax, width=\ColWidth, ]{% \vtop{\switchtobodyfont[6pt]\placelocalnotes[footnote][before=,after=]}}% } \def\FNo#1{{#1~}} %\crlf\gobblespacetokens}} % Distance/glue after number or before note text never disappears :( \setupnote[footnote][ location=text, bodyfont=, indenting=no, before={\noindentation}, next=\PlaceFootnote, ] \setupnotation[footnote][ way=bychapter, align=flushleft, indenting=no, location=serried, alternative=serried, width=broad, numbercommand=\FNo, ] % footnote text \setuptexttexts[margin][][% {\framed[ align={flushright,bottom}, frame=off, height=\textheight, width=\ColWidth, ]{% \strut\vfill\switchtobodyfont[6pt]}}% ] %%%% % different approach: \definecounter[Mnote][way=bychapter,prefix=no] \def\mnote#1{% \incrementcounter[Mnote]% \high{\color[mnotemark]{\convertedcounter[Mnote]}}% \inouter{{% \FootnoteFont% \color[mnotemark]{\convertedcounter[Mnote]}\crlf #1\blank[yes]}}% } %%%%% Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD > Am 2019-10-04 um 03:32 schrieb Andres Conrado Montoya > <andresconr...@gmail.com>: > > I've been tinkering with this problem.
