Thanks Wolfgang. Clearly that fixes the problem. I also came up with another solution which avoids the need to define a MyChapterCommand, by first setting up the normal chapter as:
\setuphead [chapter] [header=empty,alternative=middle,style=bold,numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[2cm]},after={\blank[3cm]}]
and then setting up a mychapter as:
\definehead[mychapter][chapter]
\setuphead[mychapter][header=empty,alternative=middle,style=bold,numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[2cm]},after={\blank[.5cm]}]
That gives me the result I am after as well as maintaining the style of the standard chapter head.
You can add a check for odd/even chapter numbers and use only a single command. \startsetups[chapter:after] \ifodd\namedheadnumber{chapter} \blank[4cm] \else \blank[1cm] \fi \stopsetups \setuphead [chapter] [after=\directsetup{chapter:after}] % \setuphead % [title] % [after={\blank[...]}] \starttext \dorecurse{10} {\chapter{Chapter #1} \input knuth} \stoptext Wolfgang
