Multiple Footnote Threads

Multiple Footnote Threads

[Bob Norton]

Hello,

Using ConTeXt, I would like to have multiple footnote threads in a
document. For example, one thread might be for the reader, another for
a particular reviewer, and another for my own editing notes or
comments forrequired future work. Each thread should be indexed by a
different set of symbols, and placed at the bottom of the page or at
the end of the text or document as desired. I have found this to be a
good way to work. However, I can't find a way to do this in ConTeXt.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in  advance,

Rob Walton

Rob,

This was sent to the list by someone some time ago. I kept the  
example since I need footnote layers occasionally myself.  
Unfortunately I didn't keep the name of the donor.

\definenote[thanks][conversion=set 2]
\definenote[lemma][conversion=set 3]

\usetypescript[modern][ec]
\setupbodyfont[10pt,rm]

Here\lemma{A piece of biblical text} is a footnote.\footnote{a note}

Footnotes\footnote{another note} return here\lemma{A piece of  
biblical text}.
