Thanks for your quick reply, Aditya. I'm afraid this doesn't quite  
work as expected ... the line spacing isn't changed at all here :- 
( This is my setup:

\setupnote
	[footnote]
	[before=, % remove blank line before
%	 bodyfont=9pt,
	 command=, % this disables the superscript
	 n=0] % footnote block as a single paragraph
\setupnotedefinition
	[footnote]
	[location=serried,
	 before={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=11pt]},
	 after={\endgraf},
	 distance=1ex,
	 headstyle=\ss\bf]

Also I'm somewhat puzzled ... why put these before and after commands  
in \setupnotedefinition rather than \setupnote? As far as I can tell  
\setupnote already has a bodyfont option (but none for the line  
spacing) ... also I always thought that \setupnotedefinition refers  
to a description and controls the way a single footnote is typeset  
while \setupnote is supposed to influence the whole block ... On top  
of that does the \endgraf command conflict with the n=0 option in  
\setupnote?
