Thanks Wolfgang, it does work now! I didn't now that the counter would be called 'userpage'. It thought I had to set the page-counter (\setconter[page][1]), as I was using \setuppagenumber[numberconversion=numbers,state=start] and not \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers,state=start] It seems as if both commands have the same effect. Are these synonyms? Is there a way for an end-user (like me) to infer from a command as \setuppagenumber that the corresponding counter is called "userpage"? I am just asking so I may get an understanding of how ConTeXt works, and I don't have to bother the list with so many questions. Thanks in advance.

Dear list,

it seems as if \setupnumber is ignored or I am using the wrong way to reset the page numbering.

How to start the page numbering at 1 in the body matter?

You have to change the value of the “userpage” counter, i.e. \setcounter[userpage][1] is needed.
