Hi,

shouldn't the following work?

\starttext

\setnumber[footnote]{3}

test\footnote{x}

\stoptext

Steffen

There seems to be a typo in core-not. The following works

\unprotect \definenote[\v!footnote] \protect

\starttext

\setnumber[footnote]{3} test\footnote{x}

\stoptext

In core-not.tex the spaces should be removed from

\definenote [\v!footnote ] \definenote [\v!endnote ] [\c!location=\v!none] % else no break

hm, these spaces are ignored, just try

a\relax a a\relax a

Why does Steffen's code not work, while it works if I add \definenote[\v!footnote]? Another strange thing is that the following works \starttext \footnote{test} \setnumber[footnote]{3} x\footnote{test again} \stoptext But the footnote number is not incremented in \starttext \setnumber[footnote]{3} x\footnote{test} \stoptext Could it because of the loading order of file?
