Using beta from yesterday, I have discovered that \setupnotation[number=no] works fine for footnotes, but it doesn't work for linenotes. The sample that shows the issue is the following: \setupnotation[footnote][location=columns,number=no] \definelinenote[dict] \setupnotation[dict][number=no] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{a\footnote{b}\dict{c}} \stoptext Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
