Sorry, Robert, I almost forgot it.

If you reset the footnote numbers in each chapter, I’d rather suggest something similar to:

\footnote{See n.~\in[uvu-avu] on p.~\at[uvu-avu].}

Since footnote numbers aren’t unique, consider providing the page or the chapter number.

Of course. :-) Robert

I wasn’t able to compile your source, but this works fine: \starttext \dorecurse{30}{a\footnote{Zapf.} } \startlocalfootnotes[n=0,conversion=characters,location=none] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD 1 \footnote{\dorecurse{10}{abcd }} \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 \eTD \bTD 10 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \dorecurse{30}{e\footnote{Other.} } \footnote[uvu-avu]{These two suffixes […]} \dorecurse{30}{b\footnote{Knuth.} } … \footnote{See n.~\in[uvu-avu] on p.~\at[uvu-avu].} \stoptext

and that this somehow interferes with the referencing of other footnotes? That is the only difference I see between this chapter and the others.

Without the source, all I can say is that it shouldn’t interfere. A simple way to check it would be to comment out the fragment with the local footnotes, compile and see what happens with the referenced number. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
