Thanks for the hints.
I tried `\blank` commands in `before`, but it seems to have to effect. A space before `\blank` (like `before={\ \blank[5em]}`) makes it work, but is not so nice.
But using `toffset` and `boffset` does the job, even without `\blank`s:
\defineframedtext[ChapterFrame][
frame=off,
width=\textwidth,
offset=0pt,
toffset=5em,
boffset=2em,
]
\setuphead[chapter][
before=\startChapterFrame,
after=\stopChapterFrame,
]
Regards,
Michael
