Hello, Using ConTeXt, I would like to have multiple footnote threads in a document. For example, one thread might be for the reader, another for a particular reviewer, and another for my own editing notes or comments forrequired future work. Each thread should be indexed by a different set of symbols, and placed at the bottom of the page or at the end of the text or document as desired. I have found this to be a good way to work. However, I can't find a way to do this in ConTeXt. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Rob Walton

Rob, This was sent to the list by someone some time ago. I kept the example since I need footnote layers occasionally myself. Unfortunately I didn't keep the name of the donor. \definenote[thanks][conversion=set 2] \definenote[lemma][conversion=set 3] \usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[10pt,rm] \starttext A. U.
