Quick addenda.
I attempted to read the code in page-mar.tex and tried
\def\inRightParCount{%
\inrightedge{\vi\bf\the\parCount}
\global\advance\parCount by 1 }
instead of
\def\inRightParCount{%
\inright{\vi\hfill\bf\the\parCount}
\global\advance\parCount by 1 }
and the former worked just fine - the font got smaller in the right
margin and the text was aligned to the right.
Although the original problem appears to be solved, still, I would
greatly appreciate if someone explained to me why \inright does not
seem to pay any attention to \vi whereas \inrightedge does.
Thank you!

Hello ConTeXt Experts!
I am looking for a proper ConTeXt of solving a problem I've solved through a hack (my solution is right after the need and problem are stated below).
Preface: I am learning ConTeXt as I go. I do apologize if mine is a rookie question. I'd appreciate your help very much.
Need: number every paragraph and place its number on the right margin in a smaller (6pt) font.
Problem: when I try to switch to a smaller font directly in an \inright: \inright{\vi\hfill\bf\the\parCount} that outputs the count in the main paragraph font (14pt) until I prefix every paragraph with a hack {\vi\ \setbox0=\hbox{\ }\kern-\wd0} then \inright outputs the number correctly in a 6pt font (if I add the hack to \everypar, the inright font is still 14pt)
Question: is there a way to switch to a smaller font directly in \inright{}?
My solution:
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\definepapersize[MYBOOK][width=10.5cm,height=18.5cm] \setuppapersize[MYBOOK][letter] \setuplayout[width=fit, height=fit, topspace=0cm, header=1cm, footer=0.2cm, location=middle, marking=on, leftmargin=0cm, leftmargindistance=0cm, rightmargin=0.5cm, rightmargindistance=0cm, leftdistance=0cm, rightdistance=0cm, backspace=0cm]
\setupbodyfont[14pt] \setupwhitespace[big]
\setupinmargin[align=right]
\newcount\parCount \parCount=1
\def\inRightParCount{% %% ADDING THE HACK HERE DOES NOT HELP {\vi\ \setbox0=\hbox{\ }\kern-\wd0} \inright{\hfill\bf\the\parCount} \global\advance\parCount by 1 }
\appendtoks \inRightParCount \to \everypar
