Hi Adam and all...

Ok, now we're getting somewhere...

The setup you presented was overkill-) but very instructive:

1.

\setupfootnotes[style=italic,textcommand=,command=,textstyle=boldslanted]

i. This changes the footnote marker in the main text (marker1), but also makes 
it a regular numeral aligned with the pre-footnote text.

b. The footnote marker in the note (marker2) also becomes aligned with the 
text of the note.

c. Marker1 is boldit and marker2 is italic.

d. Running text is normal;

2.

\setupfootnotes[style=italic,command=,textstyle=boldslanted]

Marker1 is now super, marker2 is text-aligned, marker1 is boldit and marker2 
is italic.

3.

\setupfootnotes[command=,textstyle=boldslanted]

Marker1 is super, marker2 is text-aligned, marker1 is bold, and marker 2 is 
normal;

4. 
\setupfootnotes[textstyle=boldslanted]

Marker1 is super, marker2 is super, marker1 is bold, marker2 is normal;

5.

\setupfootnotes[style=italic,textstyle=boldslanted]

Both markers are super, marker2 is italic and marker1 is boldit.
========

This last is the one I was looking for.

\setupfootnotes[style=\it,textstyle=\bs]

also works. This is interesting, because I thought that all options involving 
control sequences had to be surrounded by curly brackets. With curly brackets 
it does not work.

Thank you for your help! And that trick is forthcoming...

Best
