Ah, I alway forget that. By the way, is there a way to append to setting instead of overriding it?

Yep, unlike other \startstops \startfootnote does not inherit key-values settings from the corresponding \setupX (I mean, it does of course inherit the settings, but you can't set them directly on \startfootnote.) Why is that? Is it due to the fact that note setups take place in two places? (\setupnote vs \setupnotation)?
