Thanks Wolfgang.

I've been playing with different bodypart and backpart setupsectionblock settings: number=yes/no, page=yes/no/right, before/after={\page[left/right]}]

From what I observed and understand (from the manual and http://texshow.contextgarden.net/command/detail/296 )...

number=yes/no : doesn't have any effect at all

Removes the number from \chapter etc.

...

page=yes : starts (a section block on) a new (left or right) page page=no : doesn't have any effect at all

Continues the next sectionblock on the same page as the lest block ends.

...

page=right: starts (a section block on) a (new) right page

before/after : before/after starting the new page

\page[left/right] : forces a left/right page

The following

\setupsectionblock[backpart][before={\page[left]}]

gives more what I was looking after, however there's still a blank numbered page as the last chapter's last page which I've unsuccessfully been trying to get without page number.

But only in MkII, if you have a problem with this in MkIV make a example.

I have been struggling with some similar issues (in MkII). I was getting an extra page at the end of a document which came and went for reasons that were unclear to me. And then there was the issue (bug?) about "getting to the back page of a booklet" which you helped me with before.(It's towards the end of http://wiki.contextgarden.net/index.php?title=Imposition) Was this actually a bug? While your solution seemed to work well originally, it seems to be fragile now when used in a more complicated document. It seems to work OK when I don't use a sectionblock for the back cover, so perhaps it is related. -- John Devereux
