I can't get both a blank page inserted whenever a chapter finishes on an odd page and also suppress my header on the first page of a chapter. Here's my minimal example:
-----
% output=pdftex \starttext \setuphead [chapter] [before={\page\ifodd\realpageno\else\page[empty]\fi\page[right]}, header=empty] \setupheadertexts [chapter] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, option=doublesided]
\chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \stoptext

perhaps this hack will help you?

Thanks Patrick, the next specification is that I have a footer.

is used to produce an even number of pages, so if you count ever page in the book then the number of recto and verso pages are exactly equal.

Good morning,

Sorry, but I don't get what you are trying to achieve (it is too early for me, I guess). One thing that is clear: You want to start chapters on an odd (right) page. On this page, what should be in the header/footer? On the page before that, if it is empty, what do you want there? And how should the header and footer look like on a regular page?

\setupheadertexts [chapter]
this has no effect here (pagenumber is in the center of the header). Try \setuppagenumbering[location=].

You've a good success rate -- first time you haven't read my mind.

Yep.
On this page, what should be in the header/footer?
The page number should be centered in the footer. The header is empty.
On the page before that, if it is empty, what do you want there?
Nothing. A completely blank page.
And how should the header and footer look like on a regular page?
The footer is empty. The header contains the page number next to the outside margin.
Patrick, I'm posting my environment (on the offchance it might help you read my mind). It's still very rough.

If you compile this, you'll notice that on the very first page I have a header, I don't want the header, I want a footer with the page number.

Hello,

perhaps I anticipated that the problem would give me a headache.
Your wish is beyond my ConTeXt knowlege. Ask me again in a year :)
One problem is that with \setuphead[chapter][page=yes] the chapter can start on an even page. On that page the setup from \definetext[chapter]... is taken. Then, with my previously suggested hack, ConTeXt goes to the next page. There you have to setup your header/footer manually, but reset it again on next page.
With [page=right] ConTeXt has no way(?) of knowing that it should leave the even page blank.
I suggest that "we" add a new keyword to setuphead (no idea what to name it, perhaps skippages=blank) and Hans does some miracle-coding in \dohandelpaginaafB (or wherever).
And/or: we could use a keyword in setupheader,setupfooter,...: state=once. This way we could setup a headertext and don't have to worry about it on next page.
Patrick
But there is probably a) a switch already in ConTeXt, that I haven't seen or b) Hans has just needed such code, so it is already in the pre-beta ...

before={\ifodd\realpageno\else\page[empty]\noheaderandfooterlines\fi},
\doifoddpageelse{...}{...}
this one compensates for shifted pages and is fully expandable
There is a cleaner solution:

\def\dohandelpaginaafB#1% {\doifvaluesomething{??ko#1\c!pagina} {\def\resetcurrentsectionmarks% toegevoegd, zie \pagina {\resetsectionmarks{\previoussection@@sectie}}% \pagina[\getvalue{??ko#1\c!pagina}]% \dohandelpaginaafBB{#1}\v!hoofd\c!hoofd \dohandelpaginaafBB{#1}\v!tekst\c!tekst \dohandelpaginaafBB{#1}\v!voet \c!voet}}

\installpagebreakhandler \v!voet {\doifnotvalue{??tk\v!voet\c!status}\v!stop {\setupfooter[\c!status=\v!leeg]}}
\protect
now we can define a new page break:
\definepagebreak [chapter] [yes,header,right]
look how much cleaner this looks:
\setuphead [chapter] [page=chapter, header=empty, footer=chapter]

since the header key is defined here, it's not yet documented -)
\definepagebreak is already there foe some time and not documented (\definepagabreak, \defineblank, \definecolumnbreal ...)
This permits things like:
first version of doc:
\definepagebreak[version1] [yes] .... \page[version1] -> pagebreak
second version of doc:
\definepagebreak[version1][] .... \page[version1] -> ignored \define[agebreak[version2][yes] .... \page[version2] -> pagebreak
