I have a chapter heading text starting in the left margin and a hairline below my header texts spanning the full width of the header. Since the chapter begins in the left margin, there is no line on top of the chapter heading text in the margin. How can I get the line to also start in the margin where the chapter heading text begins?

Honestly, I had to read your post three times to understand what you want to achieve.

\setuplayout [leftmargindistance=0pt] \setupbackgrounds [header] [leftmargin,text] [bottomframe=on]

I'd like to know, if there's a simple solution (I would write a MetaPost three-liner for this) without touching the leftmargindis- tance.

You could consider setting up a layer, filling the layer with the line (your three-liner in Metapost) and flush it in the headertext setup Willi
