 \setuplinenumbering
  [step=5]

\starttext

\startlinenumbering
I mean, the top half of the page should
contain the main \startline[def]text, the other half should
contain footnotes. Lines in the main text should be
numbered every 5th (not all lines, the standard
\startline[abc]edition works in that funny way). But
footnotes should refer the real line\stopline [abc] number
(no marks, not autonumbered, the footnote has to refer just
the line number in the current page) \stopline[def]I have
no clue how can it be done, and I know lots of philologists
looking for the same answer.

I mean, the top half of the page should contain the main
\startline[hij]text, the other half should contain
footnotes\stopline[hij]. Lines in the main text should be
numbered every 5th (not all lines, the standard
\startline[abc]edition works in that funny way). But
footnotes should refer the real line number (no marks, not
autonumbered, the footnote has to refer just the line
number in the current page) I have no clue how can it be
done, and I know lots of philologists looking for the same
answer.
\stoplinenumbering

I'm not sure what is meant in \inline[def], \inline[hij] and
\inline[abc]. \footnote{Do you understand \inline[def] and
\inline[abc] or maybe \inline[hij]?}
