Hi,
I am trying to use the Pocket Diary https://ctan.org/pkg/context-pocketdiary module to create a photo calendar as described in the Calendar Examples https://ctan.org/pkg/context-calendar-examples. The examples work fine. By default weeks begin on Monday. Does anyone know how to specify that weeks begin on Sunday? I have searched through all the setvariable assignments, but nothing seems applicable.
I have attached an example file so you needn't retrieve all the examples. Any help would be appreciated.

Your example didn't work for me - I didn't have PocketDiary installed and then after installing it I got an error about Moons.tex. Life's too short to faff trying to fix it so this suggestion is untested.
The variables setting allows a Day= value so try experimenting with
\setvariables [PocketDiary] [Year=2025, Day=7]
as the default value is 1 which I assume is Monday.

Bruce,
Yes, I remember encountering this problem. The two files you need are: sun-MP.tex and moons-MP.tex. I don't recall where I found them so I've attached them below. Drop them into their respective pocketdiary directories Solar and Moonphase and run mtxrun --generate.
Your suggestion of the Day key was the first thing I tried myself. Unfortunately, it has no effect.
Thanks for thinking along.
With kind regards,
Michael

The month table layout is hard-coded in line 515 of file t-pocketdiary.lua
The code that decides in which cell to put the '1' of the first day is calculated elsewhere and not passed as a parameter.
That rules out a simple fix - you'd need to add a "weekstart" or similar parameter and track/act on it in various parts of the code.
