You foot now “paragraph=yes”.

\setupnote    [footnote][paragraph=yes]
\setupnotation[footnote][display=no,alternative=serried]

\starttext \showframe
\dorecurse{5}{foot\footnote{note} }
\stoptext

No, that’s wrong. When you have to \blank one after another only the bigger
value is used and the other one is ignored. In the following example
the space between the two frames is 2 lines and not 3 lines because
the smaller value is ignored. It’s possible to add up both value or to
ignore the previous/next value but in this case you need an additional
keyword for \blank.

\defineframedtext[test][width=broad,align=middle]

\starttext \showgrid

\starttest[before={\blank[line]},after={\blank[2*line]}]
One
\stoptest

\starttest[before={\blank[line]},after={\blank[2*line]}]
One
\stoptest

\blank[4*line]

\starttest[before={\blank[2*line]},after={\blank[line]}]
One
\stoptest

\starttest[before={\blank[2*line]},after={\blank[line]}]
One
\stoptest

\stoptext
