\definetext[chapter][footer][pagenumber]
\setuphead[chapter][header=high,footer=chapter]
\setupheadertexts[pagenumber]
\setupfootertexts[left text][right text]

\chapter{first}  \dorecurse{20}{\input tufte \relax}
\chaoter{second} \dorecurse{20}{\input tufte \relax}

Concerning "chapter 1"

\setupheadertexts[{Chapter \getmarking[chapternumber]}]

\setupbackgrounds   probably already in the mail archive

\setupsection [section-3] [previousnumber=no]
\chapter {test}
\section {test}

(sections are level 3)
