BTW, I could write a MWE for the case when \prevgraf aggregates number of lines for 2 paragraphs (sometimes).
\starttext
\dorecurse{15}{
One line par.\par\nobreak A\\ B\\ C\\ D\\ E\\ F\\ G\\ H\\ I\\ J\\ K\\ L \\M\\ N.
\the\prevgraf
}
\stoptext
In some cases when « One line par » appears at first line of page (except the first one in this MWE output at least), you might see « 15 » after N. line.

Objet :RE: [NTG-context] prevgraf change if page break occurs in a paragraph
I see. So is it reliable to simply use lua function tex.getcount(‘realpageno’) in vertical mode to determine that page has changed ? Or do I need some other mechanism please ? If page has changed I agree that there is no need to deal with hangindent.
I use grid typesetting so normally all lines have same height ?

it's *not changed* in luatex .. context *itself* sets the prevgraf at
the next page as indicator of the left-over lines
say that you have:
XXX ------------------
XXX ------------------
----------------------
----------------------
- a page break between the first and second line is a bug in your code
- a page break after the second line is harmless and as we're on a new
page then there is nothing to be done i.e. prevgraf then is set to 2 (as
we have two lines if we look back)
say that you have:
XXX ------------------
XXX
- if you get a page break here, again there is nothing to be done as
you're on a next page
- if you need to pick up in the next pagagraph (on the same page) then
prevgraf is 1
so, what in your case does it mean that when your next paragraph is on
the next page you look at prevgraf? there is no need to hangindent as
your hanging stuff is on the previous page
also, in general prevgraf is kind of useless when you have lines higher
than lineheight so if you use a callback, you also should calculate the
real accumulated drop so far
