Now I guess neither ednotes nor ledmac are useful for this. You "simply" use \footnote, either with manyfoot.sty or with the multi-footnote-levels facility of memoir.cls. This may also work with bigfoot.sty which should be an enhancement of manyfoot. 

You need some (sketch only)

    \newcommand\note[2]{\footnotemark'1\footnotemark}{'2}

and some change of the thing that prints the footnote number usually. Look around what footnote packages offer for this; with manyfoot.sty, I should be able to do this next week, but perhaps you don't need me. 

Cheers, 

    Uwe.
