    Thanks-
        It's good that it's there - I often look in those indices to
    try and track things down; what that entry leads to is an entry in a
    section called "Miscellaneous paper variables", I must have missed it.
    I wonder if that entry in that section would be better placed in the
    section on footnotes 
    
    https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/creating-footnotes
    
    I gave this section a good read. I noticed it did document annotation-
    line which I picked up on when I was implementing footnotes in Denemo
    some years ago, but no mention of the footnote-separator ...

The footnote-separator markup is listed in the first paragraph of the page on 
the link you sent.

" In all cases, a ‘footnote mark’ is placed as a reference in text or music, 
and the corresponding ‘footnote text’ appears at the bottom of the same page, 
separated from the music by a horizontal line. The appearance of this separator 
can be changed by setting the paper variable footnote-separator-markup, see 
Miscellaneous \paper variables."
