Please re-read my suggestion. \footnote doesn't work like tweak; if
it did, it would have music as the last argument, and apply the
FootnoteEvent to the following music. I suggested this precisely
since it's not possible to add a footnote to a specific post-event
(mainly fingerings and articulations). The documentation is at fault
here (it started with \balloon, since it implies it's similar to
\tweak).

If \footnote behaved like \tweak, you'd do this:
c-\footnote #'(1 . 2) "foo" "bar" -1
Cheers,
