Hi, if I use \startMPcode to declare variables etc. that I need in 
several MP graphics, it always inserts an empty page. How can I avoid 
that?
(Actually, I load an external mp file, and for random value reasons I 
must load it only once. But the MWE already shows the problem.)
"""
\startMPcode
numeric something;
something := 1;
\stopMPcode
\starttext
\chapter{Something}
Anything.
\stoptext
"""
\startMPinitializations % used by ALL MP instances
% also called repeatedly
\stopMPinitializations
\startMPdefinitions
\stopMPdefinitions
This is what you want.
Exactly, the latter.
Thank you, these two environments were missing in my book.
