Wolfgang, I have tried an MWE below but I think I am hopelessly lost at
this point. It is not producing anything like what I want.
But at least let me indicate what I have tried:
(1) I have defined two different 'title' items (Foreword and Preface
unnumbered) since both of these require an author name of the kind
produced by the \ChapterListCommand. Do I also need a \TitleListCommand
for these? The \ChapterListCommand seems to call in a chapter number,
and I don't want one in the Frontmatter items like foreword and preface.
I didn't know how to adjust that definition to leave out the number. I
did try a renamed copy of it, leaving out the line: \hbox to
3cm{\currentlistsymbol\hss}, but that made no difference.
(2) And since I also need some sections with an author (but the chapter
they are in has no author), I defined a 'mysection', though I have only
tried to 'call in' the Foreword so far in the text below, to see if that
at least worked - but it doesn't.
(3) I also assumed that having defined foreword, preface and mysection,
they would need to be in a \setupcombinedlist.
(4) And finally, I thought I would then need a \setuplist and
\setuplabeltext for Foreword (as indeed I might for the other two as
well, but to start with, I wanted to get one of them working at least).
MWE:
\definehead [foreword] [title]
\definehead [preface] [title]
\definehead [mysection] [section]
\setupcombinedlist[chapter,foreword,preface,mysection,section, subsection]
\define[3]\ChapterListCommand
{\hbox\bgroup
\hbox to 3cm{\currentlistsymbol\hss}% number + labeltext
\vtop\bgroup
\hsize\dimexpr\makeupwidth-3cm\relax
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{year}}
{{\it\structurelistuservariable{year}}\crlf}%
\currentlistentrytitle % title
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{author}}
{\crlf{\bf\structurelistuservariable{author}}}%
\hfill\currentlistentrypagenumber % pagenumber
\egroup
\egroup}
\define[3]\TitleListCommand
{\hbox\bgroup
\hbox to 3cm{\currentlistsymbol\hss}% number + labeltext
\vtop\bgroup
\hsize\dimexpr\makeupwidth-3cm\relax
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{year}}
{{\it\structurelistuservariable{year}}\crlf}%
\currentlistentrytitle % title
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{author}}
{\crlf{\bf\structurelistuservariable{author}}}%
\hfill\currentlistentrypagenumber % pagenumber
\egroup
\egroup}
\definehead [foreword] [title]
\definehead [preface] [title]
\definehead [mysection] [section]
\setupcombinedlist[chapter,foreword,preface,mysection,section, subsection]
\setuplist

Let me remind you of what I am trying to achieve. If I can grasp some
basic principles about this layout, I can experiment further.
