Thanks. But even rewriting the test file this way still doesn't allow me  
to control *inter*-note spacing: Yes, \setupwhitespace[none] in your  
example does *both* *intra*-note as well as as *inter*-note spacing but I  
want to configure inter-note spacing independently. I did find a  
workaround:

\setupnotation
   [footnote]
   [before=,
    indenting={yes,big},
    after={\vskip3ex}]
%   after={\blank}]

works, but the \blank version doesn't. So there is still a bug somewhere I  
think...

Best wishes
Idris
