Good noon. I typeset a document in two columns on the grid. Footnotes I place in the "columns". \setupfootnotes [rule=off, way=bypage, location=columns, conversion=set 3, before={\blank[line]}] \setupfootnotedefinition [location=left,width=fit, sample={\mathematics{\star\star\star}\ },hang=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. Many thank for you help. Michal Kvasnicka
