Actually the issue was discussed some time ago and Wolfgang Schuster explained that.
In fact after sending you the previous answer I realized that he explained also that the right way is to use \defineconversionset and then reset the userpagenumber when necessary: look at the following example:
%%%% begin example
\defineconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
\defineconversionset[bodypart:pagenumber] [][numbers]
\defineconversionset[backpart:pagenumber] [][characters]
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\input knuth.tex
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\setupuserpagenumber[number=1]
\input ward.tex
\stopbodymatter
\startbackmatter
\setupuserpagenumber[number=1]
\input tufte.tex
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext
%%%% end example
It would be nice to wikify things each time one learns something…

Thank you! This works.
But tell me: How do you know this? The manual and the website don’t explain it this way…
Best regards

Hi,
In fact you should use \setupuserpagenumber[number=1] as in the following example:
%%%% begin example \starttext \startfrontmatter \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=Romannumerals] \input knuth.tex \stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \setupuserpagenumber[number=1] \input ward.tex \stopbodymatter \stoptext %%%% end example
Best regards: OK

I don’t unterstand \startfrontmatter, \starbodymatter etc.
I thought, the frontmatter has roman numerals, the bodymatter normal and so on. This is not automatically so. Now founf how to make this, bus the problem is: I can’t reset the page number. I believed, it shoul work like this:
\startfrontmatter \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=Romannumerals] % some stuff \stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \setnumber[page]{1} %some stuff \stopbodymatter This doesn’t work, may be because \setnumber is not a command in ConTeXt?
Where is my error?
