Dear list,
I have the following enumeration block.
\defineenumeration[verse]
\setupenumeration[verse]
  [alternative=leftmargin,
   text=,
   width=fit,
   distance=1em,
   way=bysection]
I actually want to (flush) left align the enumeration's number inside the
left margin and give it a blue color. But even if I have
   \setupmargindata[inleftmargin][color=bblue4,align=flushleft]
there is no alignment, no color.
However, if I do
\setupenumeration[verse]
  [alternative=leftmargin,
   text=,
   width=\leftmarginwidth,
   headcolor=bblue4,
   distance=0em,
   way=bysection]
I am able to get the desired effect.
Is this the 'correct' way to do it? I mean to ask, am I doing something
wrong with \setupmargindata or is this expected behaviour.
Thanks,

Also 
\setupenumeration[verse]
  [alternative=left,
   text=,
   headcommand=\inleftmargin,
   distance=0em,
   way=bysection]
along with
   \setupmargindata[inleftmargin][color=bblue4,align=flushleft]
achieves the required effect. 

So then am I using alternative=leftmargin incorrectly?

Thanks,
