Description

The option scope is ignored. (ML 2019-07-22 "Place footnote after reference")

\setupnote affects the number inside the body text, but \setupnotation affects the text at the bottom of the page (footnote or endnote).

You can also use options of \setupcounter (e.g. conversion and prefix) and \setupframed.
