help

I make a biannual magazine that features academic articles from several different writers. I have spent time each magazine to try and figure out a way to make my footnotes start and end on specific pages and i can't seem to figure out a good system. I can get them to start over each spread, but the articles are different lengths so this only works if the article only spans across 1 spread. Is there a way to better customize the starting and ending pages for footnotes? I usually end up just highlighting the wrong number, making it transparent, typing the right number and formatting it like a footnote. I feel like theres gotta be a better way
