I found it:

It seems to be  \overline  now.

\starttext

$\overline{(abcd)}$
  
\stoptext

I added a little info to the wiki.

Cheers.

It works for single characters, not over braces and brackets though. But that's what it was important for for me.

\starttext

  \overbar{1}
    $\overbar{1}$
    $\bar{a}$
    $\bar{(abcd)}$
    $\bar{\left(abcd\right)}$
  \stoptext

Thanks though Henri.

Not a solution, but in math mode you should use $\bar{1}$ which is the proper math accent.

Hi fellas,

after some recent beta change some of my documents differ in output
compared to past builds, when it comes to \overbar command in math mode.
MWE:

\starttext

    \overbar{1}
        $\overbar{1}$
    \stoptext

In math mode the example looks broken... Did I miss a change; is there a
new method for overbars in math mode?

Greetings, Sebastian
