Thanks, I missed that change!
  And what is the parameter to prevent the footnotes being placed twice?

  \definenote [myFoot]  \setupnote [myFoot] [location=text] \starttext \input knuth\myFoot{a footnote (which should not be placed on the page)} \page \placeno tes[myFoot] \stoptext
cheers
Daniel

   Dear list, 
   
   after switching to the current beta (2012.06.09 01:22) manually placed footnotes are being placed _both_ on the page and at the place specified by \placenotes. 
   And another one: I'd like to align the footnote number with the text (instead of having it ahng into the margin). Following http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes#Special_Needs I tried the location key in \setupnotation but this doesn't seem to do anything. 
   
  You have to write \setupnotation[…][alternative=…].
