Enumeration numbering in the left margin

Enumeration numbering in the left margin

[kauśika via ntg-context]

Dear list,

I have the following enumeration block.

\defineenumeration[verse]
\setupenumeration[verse]
  [alternative=leftmargin,
   text=,
   width=fit,
   distance=1em,
   way=bysection]

I actually want to (flush) left align the enumeration's number inside the left 
margin and give it a blue color. But even if I have 
   \setupmargindata[inleftmargin][color=bblue4,align=flushleft]
there is no alignment, no color.

However, if I do 
\setupenumeration[verse]
  [alternative=leftmargin,
   text=,
   width=\leftmarginwidth,
   headcolor=bblue4,
   distance=0em,
   way=bysection]
I am able to get the desired effect.

Is this the 'correct' way to do it? I mean to ask, am I doing something wrong 
with \setupmargindata or is this expected behaviour.

Thanks,
kauśika

Also 
\setupenumeration[verse]
  [alternative=left,
   text=,
   headcommand=\inleftmargin,
   distance=0em,
   way=bysection]
along with
   \setupmargindata[inleftmargin][color=bblue4,align=flushleft]
achieves the required effect. 

So then am I using alternative=leftmargin incorrectly?

Thanks,
kauśika

Provide a complete minimal example to increase your chances for an answer.

I was inspecting this just now and figured out that in one of the 
\defineenumeration I was inheriting another enumeration block which had the 
width parameter set.

So I rewrote the definition without inheriting anything. Now, 
alternative=leftmargin works just as expected. No problems.

My apologies to all for the oversight.
