Hi framies:
I have submitted a suggestion to Adobe for an improvement (copied below) . I wonder if anyone would support me? Again I am drawing my example from 19th century typesetting. "Back to the future department."

Here it is:

Improvement: Multiple short footnotes on a single line as in 19th Century books

The FM page logic might be improved if Framemaker allowed 2, 3,4 footnotes on a single line in the footnote region. Not all footnotes are long and not all need a full line.
My suggested improvement would look like this
_____________footnote sep line
  2This is the first footnote. 3 Ibid.    4 Loc.cit

FrameMaker has a bad habit of placing footnote calls and notes on different pages. This suggestion might help and also make the page look better.

p.s. Anyone know how to keep the call and the footnote together globally? My latest document is 5,000 pages long and its tiresome to go through the whole thing....
