The following example generates a log file which begins with the line structure > lists > out of order sectionsblocks, maybe use \setsectionblock My larger document has over a hundred of these at the beginning. \setupnote [endnote] [location=none] \starttext \startbodymatter \startchapter[title={Body}] \startparagraph \input knuthmath \startendnote \input knuth-gpt \stopendnote \stopparagraph \stopchapter \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \startchapter[title={Notes}] \placenotes [endnote] \stopchapter \stopbackmatter \stoptext Can the message be suppressed? Is there a better way to set up the document to have endnotes for text in other-than-backmatter sectionblocks appear in the backmatter sectionblock? -- Rik
