Do you mean it like this? :

Or should I add it to this - but I don't know how/where:

no, the other one, the one that is hooked into the list placement (the one 
with three arguments #1#2#3)

Ah OK.

But as far as I see the "command=" overwrites other possible settings like

Do I have to include these descriptions in \MyNoteList in a more TeX way?

For example:
How do I set the notes with size 10pt, interlinespace 11pt, a margin 2cm 
and after space \blank?

Maybe you could give me an example for the code needed here?
you can feed it into a description, like:

  \definedescription[WhatANote]

and then use

  \startWhatANote{#1}#2\stopWhatANote

in the macro.

You can configure the description like footnotes (actuall a fn is a 
description)

Hi,

still searching for a working solution how to deal with my 757 footnotes 
I tried to avoid the error by using buffers.

But again: ! Dimension too large.

Is there really no way of emptying that "cache" - 
and maybe split it in footnote 1-350 and footnote 351-757?

Thank you,

Steffen

A big problem is that the \MyNote notes seem to be not "brakeable"

If such a note is half a page long and all the notes are set at the end of the text
it happens quite often that there is half a page empty (because the next note is too 
long).

Do you also have a clue for this?

I was trying to find whether there is something missing when I just

But the text and the footnotes as well seem to be OK.

Is there a patch helping me to avoid this error?
Why not use the following mechanism:

\starttext

\definelist[MyNoteList]

\newcounter\MyNotes

\long\def\MyNote#1%
  {\ifhmode\unskip\fi
   \doglobal\increment\MyNotes\relax
   \high{\MyNotes}%
   \expanded{\writetolist[MyNoteList]{\MyNotes}}{#1}}
\dorecurse{1000}{test \MyNote{Whow, another note}\endgraf}

\page \placelist[MyNoteList][criterium=text]

\stoptext

You can format the list any way you like, e.g.:

\def\MyNoteList#1#2#3{#1\quad#2\endgraf}

\placelist[MyNoteList][criterium=text,command=\MyNoteList]

also, you can now cal lthem per chapter,

\placelist[MyNoteList][criterium=chapter]

etc
