Ok, some days later I'm still not where I'd like to be (and my deadline is overdue). Let’s resume: A running text is to be interrupted by spans of 3 pages. Postponing (\startpostponing) works well for that, but I need to switch off page numbering on two of that 3 pages - as far as I tried, \setuppagenumbering as well as \setuppagenumber doesn’t work within postponed sections. Further, these pages contain full-page pictures, i.e. I need them bleeding off the paper. Normally, \setlayer works well for that, but I couldn’t get layers working within postponed sections. Since I need these interruptions several times in a very similar way, I \def’ed that postponing stuff as a macro, but get errors that point to expanding problems (I never get those). I’d appreciate some pointers in which direction I should think/ investigate further. E.g. - are there alternatives to postponing? perhaps multi-page floats (but at defined pages)? - is there a possibility for bleeding full-page pictures without layers? - can it work at all to change page numbering within a postponed page span?
