This was your example (not exactly the same) you posted as your first example file and works now as expected.
Ahh! I should implement my own testsuit.

Hi Wolfgang you should not only make a testsuit. It is normaly better to work with highlevel macros in your document to easily replace the macrodefinition than replacing the macros in your document. I made a first step for your document. <example> \unprotect % increment the floatnumber \def\incrementfloatnumber% {\dodoubleempty\doincrementfloatnumber} \def\doincrementfloatnumber[#1][#2]% {\ifsecondargument \dodoincrementfloatnumber[#1][#2]% \else\iffirstargument \dodoincrementfloatnumber[#1][1]% \fi\fi} \def\dodoincrementfloatnumber[#1][#2]% {\count1=0 \loop \ifnum\count1<#2 \advance\count1 by 1 \incrementnumber[#1] \repeat} % set the number \def\setfloatnumber% {\dodoubleempty\dosetfloatnumber} \def\dosetfloatnumber[#1][#2]% {\ifnum#2<\rawnumber[#1] \message{:::: Your number need to be higher than the current counter-value ::::} \else \count2=#2 \advance\count2 by -\rawnumber[#1] \incrementfloatnumber[#1][\count2] \fi} % Todo: % % \definefloatnumber[#1] % % example: % \definefloatnumber[figure] % o \incrementfigurenumber[#1] --> \incrementfloatnumber[figure][#1] % o \setfigurenumber[#1] --> \setfloatnumber[figure][#1] \protect \starttext \placefigure{}{\framed{Blub}} \placefigure{}{\framed{Bautz}} \placefigure{}{\framed{Bla}} This were \rawnumber[figure] figures by now! \setnumber[figure]{8} We want to count on with \rawnumber[figure]. \placefigure{}{\framed{Plong}} Figurenumber is incremented to \rawnumber[figure]. \placefigure{}{\framed{Plong}} \incrementnumber[figure] \placefigure{}{\framed{Plong}} \incrementfloatnumber[figure][2] \placefigure{}{\framed{Plong}} \setfloatnumber[figure][25] \placefigure{}{\framed{Plong}} \setfloatnumber[figure][12] \placefigure{}{\framed{Plong}} \stoptext </example> Wolfgang
