Perhaps i misunderstand, what Giuseppe meant with epigraphs, but perhaps
it's something like that what you made for me:

---

\useexternalfigure[hintergrund][partpic][width=15cm]

\def\EPart#1#2%
  {\tfd\it #1: #2}

\def\StartPart#1%
  {\page
   \defineoverlay[titelbild][{\externalfigure[hintergrund]}]
   \setupbackgrounds[rightpage][background=titelbild]
   \startstandardmakeup
   \part{#1}
   \vfill\tfb}

\def\StopPart%
  {\vfill\vfill\stopstandardmakeup
   \setupbackgrounds[rightpage][background=]}

\setupheads	[align=right,tolerance=verytolerant]%,
%		before={\startlinecorrection\vbox\bgroup}, after={\egroup\stoplinecorrection}]
\setuphead	[part]
		[command=\EPart,
		style=\tfd\it,
		placehead=yes,frame=off,
		number=yes]

Guiseppe: This lets you not only write a sentence to the part page,
but uses a background picture (here called "partpic"), too.

\StopPart

Hans, could you tell me how to enlarge the linespacing within
this motto, if I use grid=yes ?
