Ok, this works:

\setupnote[footnote][align=l2r]

Does that have any drawbacks?

Is it possible to change the text direction for single notes ?

Betreff: [NTG-context] LTR footnotes from RTL paragraph

Hi

Footnotes originating from an RTL paragraph will be also typeset in RTL mode as 
the following example illustrates:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setupdelimitedtext[blockquote]
                [leftmargin=1.5em,rightmargin=0em,]

\definedelimitedtext[rtlblockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext[rtlblockquote]
                [leftmargin=0em,rightmargin=1.5em,before={\righttoleft}]


\starttext

\input knuth

\startblockquote
\input knuth\footnote{this starts on the left.}
\stopblockquote

\startrtlblockquote
\input knuth\footnote{this should start on the left, but it doesn't.}
\stoprtlblockquote

\input knuth

\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

According to the wiki, that's the expected behaviour 
(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/RTL#Footnotes).
However, I'd prefer to keep the footnotes as LTR footnotes. Can I convince 
ConTeXt to typeset these footnotes in LTR mode?

Best,
Denis
