%% Present task: Sergei Mariev wants to use ordinary (numbered) 
%  footnotes as well as critical apparatuses. An ordinal footnote 
%  rule should separate the main text from the footnotes in any 
%  case. The additional footnotes should be separated by usual 
%  footnote rules as well. However, there shouldn't be a rule 
%  between the ordinary numbered footnotes and the remaining 
%  ones.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

%  Below \endinput here, there is a sample for experiencing the 
%  manyfoot feature without ednotes ...: 
% 
%%%% \iffalse %% To switch to the mere manyfoot sample -- needs 
%%%%          %% removing percent signs preceding corresponding 
%%%%          %% \fi as well! 

\newcommand{\SelectAnoteRule}{[1]{no}}
\newcommand{\SelectBnoteRule}{[0]{default}}
% <- Priorities 1 and 0 will be overridden by priority 2 
%    of the Standard LateX footnote rule, 
%    so there will be a footnote rule between main text and the 
%    footnotes in any case. Priority 1 above ensures that 
%    there will never be a visible rule between ordinary footnotes 
%    and the new A/B/C footnotes handled by manyfoot. 
%    `no' corresponds to \newcommand{\nofootnoterule} below; 
%    `default' refers to the standard footnote rule as stored 
%    by manyfoot. 
%    -- \newcommand{\Select... must come before loading ednotes. 

\usepackage[Bpara,Cpara]{ednotes}

\renewcommand{\footnoterulepriority}{2} 
% <- setting default priority, especially for the ordinary LaTeX 
%    footnotes. This priority is the maximal one here and thus 
%    overrides all the remaining ones. So there will be a rule 
%    between main text and the footnotes in any case. 
%    -- The previous line must come /after/ loading ednotes. 

\newcommand{\nofootnoterule}{} 
% <- or \let\nofootnoterule\empty; or call it \emptyfootnoterule. 
%    If so, use `empty' instead of `no' above. 
%    -- This line may come anywhere before the first page 
%    is output.

\SelectFootnoteRule[1]{no}
\newfootnote[para]{A} 
% <- Priorities 1 here and 0 below will be overridden by priority 
%    2 of the Standard LateX footnote rule,

%    there will never be a visible rule between ordinary footnotes

\SelectFootnoteRule[0]{default}
% <- `default' refers to the standard footnote rule as stored

\newfootnote[para]{B} 
\newfootnote[para]{C}
