So this moving graphic is not the problem. The problem lays in the fact, that I need the chapter number for calculating the position of the graphic along the outer edge of the page. — Because the book in question is a dictionary, it is not nice to have the chapter titles numbered, because it is only the letter of the alphabet. If I turned off the numbering, I lost the possibility to retrieve the chapter number. Through the definition of a new command \ChapterTitle, ignoring the first argument (which is the number) the title gets typeset without the number, but the number is still available in the TOC or as in my case for the calculation. Thank you for your support and help!

How to retrieve it? > Hi, You can define a custom command for the chapter, where the first argument (i.e, the number) is 'ignored' – \define[2]\ChapterTitle{#2} \setuphead[chapter][command=\ChapterTitle] It will still appeared as numbered in any lists (ToC, etc). Also, it can be accessed using \headnumber[...][...]. An example graphic – \startuseMPgraphic {graphic:chapter} picture cg; cg := outlinetext.d ("\ssbfd \headnumber[chapter]") (withcolor transparent(1,0.5,blue)); fill boundingcircle cg withcolor transparent(1, 0.5, lightgray); draw cg; \stopuseMPgraphic Using \headnumber[..][..] any 'conversion' applied to the chapter number (romannumerals, words, etc) are also preserved.
