[NTG-context] problem with counters (page)

[Alan Bowen]

Hi, Taco—

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried it with \incrementcounter before
and after the TEXpage. Sadly, neither worked.

This mwe is an attempt to capture the failure of the following in
processing a product with numerous components:

\definecounter[volpage][type=page, way=bypage]
\setupfootertexts[text]
[]
[{\centerline{\raise\NumberRaise\hbox{\rawcounter[volpage]}}
\incrementcounter[volpage]}]
[{\centerline{\raise\NumberRaise\hbox{\rawcounter[volpage]}}
\incrementcounter[volpage]}]
[]

If your suggestion had worked, I would have had difficulty in applying it.
