Hello, ConText seems to try to place the footnote on the same page as the footenotereference. See this example: \showgrid \starttext \input tufte \input tufte \footnote{Footnote 1} \input tufte \input tufte \dorecurse{35}{Blub or what }\footnote{Footnote 2} \input tufte \stoptext But that results into one (or two?) fewer line on the first page. Is there a possibility to implement the following rule? -> NEVER move lines onto the next page to achieve footnote and reference beging on the same page. If necessary set the footnote on the next page, after the reference. Or would you suggest a better solution? I have a book with grid=yes, so the default-setting is not suitable.
