how to interrupt doublesided in particular instance
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/adf1b6085515459d1ea446f4bf2c673a.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hi list, I have a document set up in a standard way (\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]) to ensure that new chapters always begin on a recto page, but in one particular instance only, I want the new chapter to start on the next (verso) page instead of creating a blank then starting on the recto side. I thought I might have been able to force that with \page[no] immediately after the previous chapter concluded or before \chapter{My new chapter}, but this command is ignored (and may well be the wrong command to achieve what I want). Is there a way to interrupt the setup so the new chapter in this case can start on the verso page? Julian

Create a new heading for chapters which can start on left/right pages. \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \definehead[mychapter][chapter] \setuphead[mychapter][page=yes] \starttext \chapter{Right page} \chapter{Right page} \mychapter{New page} \chapter{Right page} \stoptext Wolfgang

So simple, Wolfgang. Thanks. I had got close amid all the varieties I was trying out to achieve the same result. Perhaps my closest was: \setuphead[chapter][pagebreak=chapterverso], but it couldn't quite cut it! Julian On 6/5/20 1:57 pm, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

\definehead[mychapter][chapter]
\setuphead[mychapter][page=yes]
\starttext
\chapter{Right page}
\chapter{Right page}
\mychapter{New page}
\chapter{Right page}

You may want the new /mychapter/ head to appear in the TOC and pdf bookmarks as well, so take a look at /\setupcombinedlist/ and /\placebookmarks/. -- Rik

Thanks for that reminder Rik! Very timely! I had just noticed the missing chapters in the TOC :-) Julian On 7/5/20 12:33 am, Rik Kabel wrote:
