Good evening. Since I've got no answer, I date to resent my question once more, and even to add to it. I typeset a document in two columns on the grid. I use both columns, and columnsets. I place footnotes in the "lastcolumn". \setupfootnotes [rule=off, way=bypage, location=lastcolumn, conversion=set 3] \setupfootnotedefinition [location=left, width=fit, hang=1] 1) How can I set interlinespace to a smaller distance? (I don't care that the footnote lines would not be on the grid---I prefer it to a very loose interlinespace.) I guess that there is better way than to write \footnote{\setupinterlinespace[line=9pt] ...\par} Moreover, it doesn't work well since on the first line is apparently inserted a strut. 2) In columnsets, the footnotes appear in the column where they are referenced, not in the last (the second) column. How can I force it to the second column? Many thanks for your answers. M.K.
