Frontmatter page numbers and using ifodd / pageno

Frontmatter page numbers and using ifodd / pageno

[Scott Steele]

With the page layout setups I'm using, the first table of contents entry on
each page (except for the first page) is formatted as if it were on the
preceding page. I assume that the page number is not advancing until some
number of objects are placed on the page. When I compiled the example
included below, it was the first three entries on each page (after the first
page) that were formatted as if they were on the previous page.

Related to this, I need "invisible" page numbers on the table of contents
pages to enable different formatting by odd/even page number (which I
accomplish now by using \phantom as a style command for page numbering), but
I'd like for the page numbering of the body matter to start at 1.

Also, how can I number the front matter backward? Like: xi, x, ix, viii,
vii, vi, v, iv, iii, ii, i.

\def\SectionListEntry#1#2#3%
{
\noindent
 \noexpand{\ifodd\pageno
\simplealignedbox{left}{.63667\textwidth}{#2}
\simplealignedbox{middle}{.06\textwidth}{·}
 \simplealignedbox{right}{.30333\textwidth}{#3}
\else
\simplealignedbox{left}{.30333\textwidth}{#3}
 \simplealignedbox{middle}{.06\textwidth}{·}
\simplealignedbox{right}{.63667\textwidth}{#2}
 \fi}
\par\blank
}

\setuplist[section]
[alternative=command,
 command=\SectionListEntry]

\def\TableOfContents%
{
\page[empty]
 \page[odd]
\setuppagenumbering[style=command,
command=\phantom]
 \setuppagenumber[state=start]
\placelist[section]
\setuppagenumber[state=stop]
 \page[empty]
\page[odd]
}
\startfrontmatter
\TableOfContents
\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter
\setuppagenumber[state=start]
\dorecurse{45}{\section{Section title}\input tufte}
\stopbodymatter





Thanks,
Scott
