But what about superscripting? I noticed that having the [1] as a superscript was pushing up the line above it. I have this vague feeling that having a [1] in the middle or at the end of a sentence would look sort of odd. Putting the word Footnote in front of it disambiguates it.
You probably can't avoid making somebody unhappy. Would [Note 1] be too ambiguous? If so, I can certainly live with [Footnote 1]. Maybe someone else will weigh in with something really authoritative or convincing. I've finally learned to tap very small note indicators (I used to be so careful that I accidentally long pressed them, which resulted in a dictionary search of the character used for the footnote and I was convinced there are a lot of broken books out there until I learned to tap). Now my main problem with small note symbols is that I don't see them.
