Following up on my own note, I see that this fails under LMTX if compiled in a clean directory, but succeeds if first compiled with the troublesome line removed, and then, restoring the line, compiled a second time. It also works by placing a .tuc file from an older version of the document into the directory before compiling. Very strange indeed. The expected output, from one of those successful compilations:
So. I am clearly doing something wrong, but sometimes LMTX is letting me get away with it.

Hello list,
The following fails with ConTeXt ver: 2021.10.24 21:45 MKIV but works with the companion LMTX. The error message is:tex error
tex error on line 6 in file G:/TestConTeXt/convert.tex: ! Incompatible glue units , pointing to the second \convertnumber line.
\definelabel[XX]%[text=,before=,after=,alternative=inright] \startTEXpage[offset=2em] abc\XX[xx]\par \ref[number][xx] · \convertnumber{r}{1} · \convertnumber{R}{\ref[number][xx]} \stopTEXpage
In this case I am trying to display with roman numerals the number generated in the label created through \definelabel.
Suggestions welcomed.

normally one does the conversion differently:
\definelabel[XX][numberconversion=R] \definelabel[YY][XX][numberconversion=A]
\startTEXpage[offset=2em] 1: \XX[xx]\par 2: \YY[xx] \stopTEXpage

(Resending because attachment was too large.) That generates a new labeled item albeit with a roman numeral label. I am trying to get the value of a previously generated numeric label converted roman numerals. So, consider that I have a numeric label identifying a paragraph of text. I want to reference that label in another place but need to do it in Latin. I want to convert the original label number to a roman numeral for use in that one place, not generate a new label displayed as a roman numeral. So, \definelabel[XX][text=¶] \define\Naa{\ref[number][aa]} \define[1]\Nnn{\ref[number][#1]} \define\Raa{\convertnumber{R}{\ref[number][aa]}} \define[1]\Rnn{\convertnumber{R}{\ref[number][#1]}} \startTEXpage[offset=2em] Paragraph\XX[aa]\par Paragraph\XX[bb]\par Paragraph\XX[cc]\par 1: \Naa\par 2: \Nnn{bb}\par % these fail without an existing tuc file: I: {\la Vide paragraphum \Raa.}\par II: {\la Vide paragraphum \Rnn{bb}.} \stopTEXpage should produce: Paragraph *¶ 1 *Paragraph *¶ 2* Paragraph *¶ 3* 1: 1 2: 2 I: Vide paragraphum I. II: Vide paragraphum II. but this fails without an existing good tuc file. If I comment out the two latin lines, compile (to failure), and then uncomment the lines and try again, it compiles without error. Does this mean that \ref[number][label] does not really return a number as \convertnumber expects? This is the case with today's upload as well (ConTeXt ver: 2021.10.28 10:19 LMTX). -- Rik
