You can use the \testpage command where you can set how many

\setuphead[LetterTitle][before={\testpage[8]\blank[2*line]}]
If this doesn’t help you should make a *working* minimal example.

of the right footnote numbers in the text.
Any hints?

You should set the footnote text before the frame, with

In case you need to set more footnotes, set them in the order they will

In case you define your own footnotes, use

Hi,
here my humble personal thoughts:
I would say, that the multicolor version is dissecting the word ConTeXT to
unidentifiable crumbles. It is to my taste to less connected to typesetting,
herewith
find tex -name plain.tex
finds nothing; there's no "plain" dir under ./tex/texmf/tex/

in this MWE the columns are not aligned at the bottom, and they are not

Hello list,
i've played a bit with interfaces.definecommand, that lets you define
TeX macros from lua (see the "ConTeXt Lua Documents", 7.3 User interfacing).
I found that the commands defined by interfaces.definecommand fail when
you pass string arguments that contain brackets.

The answer is in lxml-lpt.lua, where built-in expressions are defined.
You need a good knowledge of LPEG that i miss.
Some built-in expressions get the current element as first argument,
like count() or child() (lines 1300-1307 of lxml-lpt.lua):
expressions.child = function(e,pattern)
Hello list,
i'd like having an object representation of a typeset paragraph or even
a page, preferably as a JSON object, but a Lua table is equally good.
My reference is section "4.4 Node lists" of the CLD manual.
Before writing an iterator over the list of nodes of a paragraph,
