anchor points for \inmargin

Dear Sirs,

I'm trying to make a exam for my students. After the question I should
provide a blank space for the answer. In the margin I want write the
partial scores for the answer. The problem  occurs when I force a new page.
In this case the text in the margin is flushed to the next page. I don't
want this behavior. How can I can  this?

Another question: How can I anchor the scores in the middle of the vertical
blank space?  This  \vskip4cm\Info{scores}\vskip4cm don't make the job.

Thanks in advance.

Jorge


Code:

\setupmargindata[inmargin][style={\ss\tfx},location=outer,align=middle]
\setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=middle,location=outer]
\def\Info#1{\margindata[inmargin]{\rotate{#1}\ignorespaces}}

\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\item Question 1
\vskip8cm
\Info{20 \periods[3] 15 \periods[3] 10}
\vskip1cm

\item Question 2
\vskip8cm
\Info{20 \periods[3] 15 \periods[3] 10}
\page %%% --> problematic
\item Question 3

Margin texts are flushed with the next paragraph but you can start one 
for the points only with the \dontleavehmode command.

\define[1]\Info
   {\dontleavehmode\margindata[inmargin]{\rotate{#1}}}

You can use the \framed command to reserve the space for the answer and 
place with the score with a layer as background for the frame.

\setupmargindata[inmargin][style={\ss\tfx},location=outer,align=middle]
\setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=middle,location=outer]

\definelayer[infolayer][width=\framedwidth,height=\framedheight]

\startsetups[infolayer:place]
     
\setlayer[infolayer][preset=middleright]{\rotate{\getvariable{infotext}{points}}}
\stopsetups

\defineframed[infobox][frame=off,width=max,background=infolayer,setups=infolayer:place]

\define[2]\Info
   {\par
    \setvariable{infotext}{points}{#2}%
    \infobox[height=#1]{}}

\starttext

\startitemize[n]
     \starthead{Question 1}
         \Info{9cm}{20 \periods[3] 15 \periods[3] 10}
     \stophead
     \starthead{Question 2}
         \Info{8cm}{20 \periods[3] 15 \periods[3] 10}
     \stophead
     \starthead{Question 3}
         \Info{6cm}{20 \periods[3] 15 \periods[3] 10}
     \stophead
\stopitemize

\stoptext
