I have found the problem, but am still seeking a little help: I had created a setup to raise the page number in the footer. Calling this setup resulted in the frontpart pages reverting to arabic instead of roman: \startsetups pnfooter \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=] \setupfooter [style=normal] \setupfootertexts [{\framed[width=max,frame=off,boffset=2mm]{\pagenumber}}] \stopsetups How can I continue to use the setup but still get my roman numerals in the frontpart?

Something that has worked for me in the past is not working for me at the moment, and I cannot figure out why:
\startsectionblockenvironment [frontpart] \setupuserpagenumber [numberconversion=romannumerals] \setcounter [userpage] [5] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment [bodypart] \setcounter [userpage] [1] \stopsectionblockenvironment
gives me roman numerals in the TOC but not on the frontmatter pages, which are arabic. Bodymatter is okay. What could I possibly be doing wrong?
Even with a different setup I get the same result:
\definestructureconversionset [frontpart:pagenumber] [] [romannumerals] \setupheads[title][sectionconversionset=section] \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \stopsectionblockenvironment
Puzzling (for me at least).
