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]}}%
}
