I want \startfrontmatter to trigger a background image, but I can only get this to appear if I use page=yes (see example below).

However, I don’t want any page break between the front-matter and body-matter. If I use page=no (as in the line commented out) this page break disappears — but so does the background image!

How can I get the background behind the page where the front-matter text appears, but with no page break before the body-matter?

Set the page background outside of the sectionblock.

… and use \setlayer. Thanks Wolfgang, I think I’m piecing together how layers, backgrounds and the pagebreak mechanism fit together. Regards, Robin
