I wonder if someone might be able to help me with this.

I have a book in three parts and the author wants endnotes. No problem. I can produce those with \setupfootnotes[location=text] and then \placefootnotes.

However, I would like the header to read 'Notes' on the recto page (or indeed be blank with no header), but I am currently getting the header that belongs to the main setup for headers, which happens to be:

\startsetups[middle]

\hfill

\getmarking[section]

\hfill

\stopsetups

\setupheadertexts

[{\hfill\documentvariable{metadata:title}\hfill}][]

[\setups{middle}][]

How do I deal with the \placefootnotes command so that it ignores this and either gives me no header, or perhaps a new header with 'Notes' in place of [section] (which is achieved in centered position with setups[middle])?

I use the following for a notes chapter at the end of a book. It produces headings that indicate the pages for which the notes apply. Perhaps you can adapt it to your needs:

In the environment file:

\definemarking [notePage] \startsetups noteHeadingsText {\em Notes for page \doifelse{\fetchmark[notePage][top]}{\fetchmark[notePage][bottom]} { \getmarking[notePage][top]} {s \getmarking[notePage][top]–\getmarking[notePage][bottom]}} \stopsetups \startsetups noteHeadings:on \setupheadertexts[][\setups{noteHeadingsText}] [\setups{noteHeadingsText}][] \stopsetups

In the text:

\startbackmatter \startchapter[reference={cha:notes}, list={Notes}, % toc bookmark={Notes}, % pdf bookmark title={Notes}] % chapter head [Lettrine=no] \setups{noteHeadings:on} \placenotes[endnote] \stopchapter
