I did use: \setupnotes[footnote][split=verystrict,scope=page] so I guess there is not much hope here. A related question: the numbering of endnotes is placed in the leftmargin. Is there a parameter setting that forces them in the textarea of the page? I tried \setupnotes[endnote][location=text] but without success.

If the footnote is close to the previous page, than obviously the float mechanism may decide to put the footnote on the previous page. This happens even when the footnote is in the second paragraph of that page. Only when the footnote is far enough from the top of the page (I have no inkling how far is far enough) will the footnote appear on the current page, as where one expects it. I guess this is a tricky one, but perhaps Hans Hagen will know what to do or what to change. I am convinced he will not be afraid of some trickery:-) if verystrict is not helping there is not much that we can do as tex decides if keeping note and reference on one page is possible at all given other constraints (of course there can be a bug in context) Hans van der Meer On 20 Jul 2017, at 20:28, Pablo Rodriguez > wrote: On 07/20/2017 11:16 AM, Meer, Hans van der wrote: It happens that a footnote generated on a certain page is typeset on the page preceding it. Rather than that, I would like to force a footnote to appear either on the page where it is defined or on the following page. Can such behaviour be enforced? Currently this is my footnote setup: \setupnotes [footnote][split=verystrict] Hans, I would add "scope=page", but that would prevent moving the footnote to the next page. I don’t know whether this would prevent the footnote to be placed in the page before where it is defined.
