Hi,
I need some help for shorten the TeX code in the following example:
Can you give a short and comprensive example ?
Wolfgang provided me an excellent example that illustrates the idea  
perfectly:

\usemodule[visual]

\def\NFD{9.8pt} % normalfootnotedistance

\def\footnotedistance[#1]%
   {\setupfootnotedefinition[style={\setupinterlinespace[line=\dimexpr 
\NFD*#1\relax]}]}

\starttext

\dorecurse{10}
   {\fakewords{30}{40}\footnote{\fakewords{5}{15}} }

\footnotedistance[4]

\dorecurse{10}
   {\fakewords{30}{40}\footnote{\fakewords{5}{15}} }

\footnotedistance[1]

\dorecurse{10}
   {\fakewords{30}{40}\footnote{\fakewords{5}{15}} }

\stoptext

Now, my problem is that I don't use the footnote definition  
\setupfootnotedefinition[style=...]
but the following instead:
   \def\setnotebodyfont
     {\let\setnotebodyfont\relax
      \restoreglobalbodyfont
     \switchtobodyfont[rm,9pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=9.8pt]
\parskip2pt}

And I couldn't find a way to use this with variables like above (\def 
\footnotedistance[#1]...).

Do you know how this should be coded?
