I am re-sending this in the hope that someone will confirm whether this is a general or a very local problem; and if the latter, point out what I am missing (or what has changed). The following used to work but fails in the latest beta (standalone, cleanly installed): \definehead[BookTitle][title] \setuphead[BookTitle][style=\tfc, color=darkred] \starttext \setupnotation[footnote][interaction=start,numberconversion=set 3] %\setupnotation[footnote][interaction=start,numberconversion=romannumerals] \startBookTitle[ title={\em Some title\note[trans]}] \stopBookTitle % \footnotetext[trans]{a footnote} \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=numbers] \resetnumber[footnote] Loren ipsum\footnote{another footnote} \stoptext Now, whatever set I specify, the output is an arabic numeral. (numberconversion=romannumerals works.) All best, Alan On Fri, Dec 12, 2014 at 4:46 PM, Alan Bowen wrote:
