The problem is, that Context (or Tex) skips lines, which is poor typesetting, too many even than necessary in some cases, and that is not suitable. Endnotes are no solutions aswell, I need footnotes. So the solution to have reference and footnote not on the same page seems the least bad workaround, if possible at all.

So why not place footnotes in a (sufficiently large) reserved bottom space? The typeset text area would then be uniform across all pages and notes would appear where needed. Alan

ConTeXt does not skip too much in this example, it the second footnote will just not fit with the (default) parameter set ConTeXt is using. If the footnote 2 would be on the first page, that is an extra line for the reference line, and an extra line for the actual note. There is an implicit \blank before the footnote rule, and that is a third ‘line’. Since there only is 2 lines (and a bit) of space available, it will not fit. Disable the default \blank with: \setupnote[footnote][before=] and both notes will fit on the first page. Best wishes, Taco
