From a translator: Normally, footnote markers go at the end of the word they are marking. But one of our languages needs to have the footnote marker at the beginning of the word, for morphological reasons. That's fine in most places, but if the footnote marker comes at the beginning of a line (especially in poetry), Bibledit-Desktiop likes to move the marker to the end of the previous line. Putting the footnote code string between the line marker and the word in the usfm code will solve the problem until the text is put on another computer, when things will move. This doesn't happen with all footnotes that meet those conditions, and not all the time. It seems random.
