This reminds me. Two columns of text over three columns of footnotes.

indeed, just multicolumns with page notes in 3 columns
My footnotes all end up at the bottom of the last column.
The important thing is: is there _ever_ going to be a manual? I
want to try Context, but I've been putting it off for years because
it's not really practical without documentation. There must be many
others in the same situation.

TeXExec | tex processing method: context

Thank you.
I had never heard of luatex/mkiv format before---I have just been
trying to follow the four or five conflicting pages about installation
that I found at Context Garden. I did a Google search there for
luatex format, which does not occur, and for mkiv format, which
occurs once, under a
