Thanks for that reminder Rik! Very timely! I had just noticed the missing chapters in the TOC :-)

So simple, Wolfgang. Thanks. I had got close amid all the varieties I was trying out to achieve the same result. Perhaps my closest was: \setuphead[chapter][pagebreak=chapterverso], but it couldn't quite cut it!

Hi list,

I have a document set up in a standard way (\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]) to ensure that new chapters always begin on a recto page, but in one particular instance only, I want the new chapter to start on the next (verso) page instead of creating a blank then starting on the recto side.

I thought I might have been able to force that with \page[no] immediately after the previous chapter concluded or before \chapter{My new chapter}, but this command is ignored (and may well be the wrong command to achieve what I want).

Is there a way to interrupt the setup so the new chapter in this case can start on the verso page?

Create a new heading for chapters which can start on left/right pages.

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\definehead[mychapter][chapter]

\setuphead[mychapter][page=yes]

\starttext

\chapter{Right page}

\chapter{Right page}

\mychapter{New page}

\chapter{Right page}

\stoptext

Wolfgang

You may want the new mychapter head to appear in the TOC and pdf bookmarks as well, so take a look at \setupcombinedlist and \placebookmarks.
