Dear list, sorry for posting this again, but I don’t know how to solve this issue and I really need your help. I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A6] \newcounter\LineNote \setupnote[linenote][paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[linenote][alternative=serried] \define[2]\Variant {\increment\LineNote \startlinenote[LineNote:\LineNote]{#2}#1% \stoplinenote[LineNote:\LineNote]} \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{10}{\Variant{\showhyphens{legislation}not original}{variant} \Variant{\showhyphens{legibility}origin} {variants} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext The problem here is that \Variant gets always #1 not hyphenated, although \showhyphens works fine in that argument. The cause of this is the \increment command within \Variant. I don’t know why this happens, but the increment is required by \Variant to make sense at all. I guess this might be a bug. Is there no possible workaround for this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
