Hi, I wonder if someone could lead me out of my current confusion.

In a test example with MWE as follows, I get exactly what I want:

\setuplabeltext [en] [chapter=~] \define[2]\MyChapter   {\framed[frame=off,width=broad,align=middle]{#1\blank[1cm]#2}} \setuphead [chapter] [command=\MyChapter] \chapter{Chapter title}

which gives me a chapter number (without the word 'Chapter') and 1cm below it the chapter title, e.g.:

             1

  My chapter title

But when I transfer this to the actual tex file I am working with, I lose the chapter number. Admittedly, there is more complication to my setup in the 'real' example, and maybe that's where I've gone wrong, but why am I losing the chapter number?

\define[2]\MyChapter {\framed[frame=off,width=broad,align=middle,number=yes]{#1\blank[1cm]#2}} \setuphead [chapter][header=empty,alternative=middle,style=bold,numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[2cm]},after={\blank[3cm]},command=\MyChapter]

What happens if you remove `numbercommand=...,`? Aditya
