Subject: Re: Automatic numbering of footnotes set with \note (not with \footnote)

I don't have the answer to your explicit question, but a work-around might be to put the footnotes into buffers instead of \footnotetext and then use /footnote[...]{\getbuffer[name]} in the body. That way ConTeXt sees them in order of appearance in the body and so the numbering should be as you want.

There is, nevertheless, a small inconvenience, and it is that when processing the document ConTeXt goes numbering automatically the notes, attending to the order in which they are, in the source file, the \footnotetext commands. Would there be a simple way so that the automatic numbering follows the order of the \note commands, and not that of \footnotetext? Maybe something with \startbuffer combined with a counter?
