My efforts to set up a new page counter in the footertexts of a book are not proving successful. The following code shows the nature of the problem. \definecounter[volpage][type=page, way=bypage] \starttext \setcounter[volpage][5] \dorecurse{3}{\startTEXpage[offset=2pc] \input ward \blank[medium] \centerline{\red\tfa\rawcounter[volpage]\incrementcounter[volpage]} \stopTEXpage} \stoptext As you will see, the counter is not incremented on pages 2 and 3. I expect that I have missed something important. But what? Alan

Hi, Incrementing the counter outside of the TEXpage should work. Best wishes, Taco

Hi, Taco— Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried it with \incrementcounter before and after the TEXpage. Sadly, neither worked. This mwe is an attempt to capture the failure of the following in processing a product with numerous components: \definecounter[volpage][type=page, way=bypage] \setupfootertexts[text] [] [{\centerline{\raise\NumberRaise\hbox{\rawcounter[volpage]}} \incrementcounter[volpage]}] [{\centerline{\raise\NumberRaise\hbox{\rawcounter[volpage]}} \incrementcounter[volpage]}] [] If your suggestion had worked, I would have had difficulty in applying it.

Hi Alan, Sorry, I should have actually tried your MWE. You do *not* want way=bypage here, as that resets the counter to one at the start of the next page (it is useful for footnotes that are numbered per-page, but not for actual page counters). \definecounter[volpage][type=page] \starttext \setcounter[volpage][5] \dorecurse{3}{\startTEXpage[offset=2pc] \input ward \blank[medium] \centerline{\red\tfa\rawcounter[volpage]\incrementcounter[volpage]} \stopTEXpage} \stoptext

Thanks, Taco! That works in my mwe. I added way=bytext in my env file and the output is just what I need. Best, Alan On Wed, Jun 10, 2020 at 9:44 AM Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Why don't you use sub pages? \starttext %\setupsubpagenumber[start=5]\resetsubpagenumber \setcounter[subpage][5] \startTEXpage \samplefile{ward} \blank \midaligned{\subpagenumber} \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage \samplefile{ward} \blank \midaligned{\subpagenumber} \stopTEXpage \stoptext Wolfgang
