      Hi,

Incrementing the counter outside of the TEXpage should work.

Best wishes,
Taco

My efforts to set up a new page counter in the footertexts of a book are not proving successful. The following code shows the nature of the problem.
\definecounter[volpage][type=page, way=bypage]
\starttext
\setcounter[volpage][5]
\dorecurse{3}{\startTEXpage[offset=2pc]
      \input ward
      \blank[medium]
      \centerline{\red\tfa\rawcounter[volpage]\incrementcounter[volpage]}
      \stopTEXpage}
\stoptext
As you will see, the counter is not incremented on pages 2 and 3.
I expect that I have missed something important. But what?
