I would say number them in order of visual appearance. E.g. if the footnote 
for the hairpin is printed at the beginning, treat it as if it were at moment 
0, if the footnote sign is printed at the end treat it as if it were added at 
moment 6/4 in this case. That's what I would expect as a music user.

Cheers,
Reinhold
