Follows is some code that executes. The lines immediately following
\starttext create a sample of the desired output format. However, I want to
accomplish similar results for chapter titles via the passing of arguments
containing the chapter title and number. Numerous attempts at that have
resulted in abject failure. I am clearly missing something.
\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2
{\switchtobodyfont[ss,30pt]
\hbox to \hsize {\stretched{Chapter\\One}}
\blank[small]
\switchtobodyfont[sansbold,20pt]
\hbox to \hsize {\stretched{It\\Was\\The\\Best\\Of\\Times}}}
\setuphead[chapter]
[command=\MyChapterCommand,
header=empty,footer=chapter,page=mychapterpagebreak,
after={\blank[0.5in]},before={\blank[force,1.0in]}]

you can try deepcommand=\stretched but as this macro does parsing and
lots of things can happen in titles there are no guarantees

Can’t you use MkIV, it has better support for tracking?

- Font loading. Overall font loading is simpler, but you might need to
adapt your typescripts (on occasions I have had to define \sc in terms of
\addfontfeature, but I haven't checked if that is still needed).
- Regimes: MkIV assumes UTF-8.
- Headings: the setups for chapter and section stoppers and referencing
has changed. You have much more flexibility now, but need to adapt your
style files accordingly.
- Metapost: It is no longer possible to change the color of a label in
metapost. (You can set it up at TeX level, so this is not a
limitation...you just need to change the label commands).

Seems like there are some TEXMF... defined. Try to unset them (in bash
'unset TEXMFLOCAL' for example). Well, this solved the same issue the
other day.

I tried to execute MKIV by typing in context hello.tex and got an error
message. Apparently something else needs to be installed.
MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'
What major changes to my documents will I likely need to make to shift to
MKIV?
