This is
\footnote{abcde.} a test
\footnote{ABCDE.} line with
\footnote{GHIJK.} footnotes.
\footnote{ghijk.}
\stoptext
I am finding that adjusting “before” and “after” affects the placement of notes on a given page as a block, but leaves the spacing between the notes on the list unchanged. So, is there a way to adjust the vertical spacing between notes in MKII?

You foot now “paragraph=yes”.
\setupnote [footnote][paragraph=yes]
\setupnotation[footnote][display=no,alternative=serried]
\starttext \showframe
\dorecurse{5}{foot\footnote{note} }
\stoptext

No, that’s wrong. When you have to \blank one after another only the bigger
value is used and the other one is ignored. In the following example
the space between the two frames is 2 lines and not 3 lines because
the smaller value is ignored. It’s possible to add up both value or to
ignore the previous/next value but in this case you need an additional
keyword for \blank.
