most counters are 'protected' from messing them up and section related 
counters are kind of grouped anyway and have their own system

other counters, like those for floats are more directly accessible

\starttext

\chapter{test}

\setupheadnumber[chapter][+5]

\placefigure{}{}

\chapter{test}

\placefigure{}{}

\setcounter[figure][4]

\placefigure{}{}

\stoptext

chemical combination endnote figure footnote formula graphic
intermezzo itemgroup:itemize itemgroup:itemize:note linenote
paragraph realpage subpage table textnote:note userpage

otherw will be defined when you create instances
