chapter numbering

chapter numbering

[Meer, Hans van der]

The reference manual explains that one can set individual numbers on a chapter:
 \setuphead[subsection][ownnumber=yes]
 \subsection{399}{The old number}

So I tried \setuphead[chapter][ownnumber=yes] but then I am in the dark how to use this. 
The reference manual (september 2013 -- latest?) was of no help because it does treat \chapter but not yet explains \startchapter. Neither did the ConTeXt Commands (July 2015 version) offer me I clue.

I tried \startchapter[number=6] but this doesn't work.
How to?

You need \setuphead[chapter][ownnumber=yes] only when you want to use 
the \chapter command but not when you use \startchapter.

\starttext

\startchapter[title=Knuth]
\input knuth
\stopchapter

\startchapter[title=Zapf,ownnumber=11]
\input zapf
\stopchapter

\stoptext

\setuphead[part][incrementnumber=no]

Chapter numbering

[Michal Kvasnicka]

Hello you all!

First of all, many thanks for your kind answers to my stupid questions,
especially to Hans Hagen.

And one more question:
I'm using the structure od my document like this:
    \chapter{...}
    \part{...}
    \chapter{...}
    ...
    \part{...}
    \chapter{...}
    ...
In every part the chapter numbering starts with number 1, but I prefer
sequentional numbering. How to do it? In the manual I haven't found it
(maybe my bug).

Many thanks and best wishes to you all.

M.K.
