Dear Pablo, As you suggested location=inright works for me using LMTX Hans sent me: can you put this in cont-new.mkxl and test it with options \unprotect \def\page_layouts_place_text_line_left {\hpack {\ifdim\leftedgewidth>\zeropoint \page_layouts_left_edge_element\c!righttext\c!rightstyle\c!rightcolor\c!rightwidth \fi \ifdim\leftmarginwidth>\zeropoint \page_layouts_left_margin_element\c!righttext\c!rightstyle\c!rightcolor\c!rightwidth\plusone \fi \ifdim\makeupwidth>\zeropoint \page_layouts_text_body_element_e_r_m_l \fi \ifdim\rightmarginwidth>\zeropoint \page_layouts_right_margin_element\c!lefttext\c!leftstyle\c!leftcolor\c!leftwidth\zerocount \fi \ifdim\rightedgewidth>\zeropoint \page_layouts_right_edge_element\c!lefttext\c!leftstyle\c!leftcolor\c!leftwidth \fi}} \protect With this both inright and inmargin work in LMTX and MKIV So everything is working for me now. Thank you for taking the time, Charlie

[...] the left page of the double spread places the page number on the left margin of the page and in the right page it is placed on the right margin. This is what I would like to get in LMTX as well. Am I doing something wrong here?

Hi Charles,

I think that "inright" is what you want:

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location=inright]

\starttext \dorecurse{20}{\input knuth } \stoptext

With current latest from 2021.07.10 21:51, "location=inright" behaves as you expect using LMTX.

Using MKIV with the current latest, there is no difference between "location=inright" and "location=inmargin".

I don’t know whether this is intended or not.

I hope it might help,
