Thanks. Will have a look soon. BTW, I just found out that there two
additional commands, namely
\footnote++
\footnote--
And if there is the command
\DeclareNewFootnote{A}
there are four new commands special to bigfoot:
\footnoteA+
\footnoteA++
\footnoteA-
\footnoteA--
Other objects created by `\DeclareNewFootnote` are the same to what
the 'manyfoot' package does:
\footinsA (an insert register)
footnoteA (a counter)
\FootnoteA{...}{...}
\FootnotemarkA{...}
\FootnotetextA{...}{...}
\footnoteA[...]{...}
\footnotemarkA[...]
\footnotetext[...]{...}

Will try that soon, too, thanks!

No problem!
