Re: [NTG-context] adjustment to my local footnotes problem

Well, Hraban, you say that \directsetup makes no sense any more in LMTX, 
but in this case  (I use LMTX, not MKIV) I tried it without 
\directsetup, it did not work and furthermore I got an error. That is 
why I commented that I did not understand what \directsetup really does 
(or doesn't do as you are suggesting).

For now the immediate problem is resolved, and I am happy about that, 
but I don't understand why it works with \directsetup but not without it 
in LMTX (my version December last year)
