That's a  strange way of  doing things, if I  get it right  what you
mean. If you want to have the number in the margin, you can use

\setupheads [alternative=inmargin]

or you can provide a negative indent for the heads

\setupheads [margin=-2cm]

which has the same effect as indenting everything else.

\setuphead [chapter]
       [
               after=,              % To remove the space
               %after={\blank[1cm]},
               %after={\blank[2cm]},
       ]

Marco,

No, I don't want the number in the margin. As you and Wolfgang have suggested, it is easier to move the headers to the left than to move the text to the right. I will play around with it and see what I get.

Thanks
