Hi again,

As a follow-up, I just found some weird behavior when typesetting local/text notes using columns. The code below describes the issue. (As the notes are counted by page I really didn't need to use localnotes, so the problem of footnotes disappearing is solved.)

\definenote[afiliação]%[numberconversion=set 2]

\setupnote[afiliação][

%paragraph=yes,

rule=off,

location=text,

]

\setupnotation[afiliação][numberconversion=a, way=bypage,

%location=text,

%alternative=serried, % no effect

alternative=hanging,

width=fit, % broad

%distance=.5em,

%display=no

] % or set 1

% n=3 doesn’t work

\setupnotation[footnote][location={bottom,left},alternative=hanging,distance=.5em]

\starttext

Note\footnote{This should be at the bottom, but if I use columns it goes just below the columns.}

%{% local notes have to be enclosed, otherwise footenotes below don’t appear

Author 1\afiliação{asdf} Author 2\afiliação{asdf} \dorecurse{5}{\afiliação{Nota explicativa.}}

\startcolumns[n=3]

\placenotes[afiliação]

\stopcolumns

%}

% end local notes

\blank[big]

This footnote will disapear completely if I use localnotes and don’t enclose them.\footnote{Where does it go?}

\stoptext
