[NTG-context] margin notes (was: lmtx update)

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Hraban,

Thank you for taking the time to send your code for sidenotes.
Unfortunately when I add

\starttext
test\footnote{A footnote in the margin.}
\stoptext

to your code, I get an error and unfortunately with recent versions of LMTX the error message 
!  Undefined control sequence
is not helpful to find the error… (LMTX considers \footnote as an undefined control sequence…).

Best regards: Otared

That solution works fine when the notes are short enough, but in some cases the notes in the margin bump into each other (indeed it is not a good habit to have long notes, but in some cases one cannot avoid them).
