Thanks Denis, as you said not tested, but now it has been tested... did not work, though I might try some variations of that just to see if it could work somehow. In the meantime Marco's solution has worked so the immediate problem is resolved. Julian On 6/1/21 9:10 pm, denis.maier@ub.unibe.ch wrote:

Not tested, but what about this?

\setupcounter[chapter][way=bytext]

Best, Denis

I need chapter numbers to continue sequentially across several parts. At the moment, when Part 2 begins, it begins with Chapter 1 once more, while it should be (in continued sequence) Chapter 4.

I know that I can achieve the desired result by including ownnumber=4, so:

\startchapter[title={My chapter title},ownnumber=4] will do that for me. But this means I have to do it for every chapter that follows (there are 11 more!).

Perhaps there is a single way to get the result I want in the preamble with \setuphead[chapter] or similar. I have searched the wiki but it is not easy to find an answer to this. Can anyone point me to where, in the wiki, I can find a simple way to ensure sequential chapter numbers?

Julian
