Hello again,

I want to set up a header which stretches across the margins as well as the
text area, so I've defined a layer for use as a background, as follows:

\setuplayout[backspace=3.5cm,leftmargin=0.5cm,leftmargindistance=1.0cm]
\definelayer[pagenumber][width=3cm,height=3cm]
\startsetups layer
\setlayer[pagenumber]{Page \pagenumber}
\stopsetups
\setupbackgrounds[header][leftmargin][setups=layer,background=pagenumber]

\starttext
\dorecurse{4}{\page[empty]}
\stoptext

Unfortunately, the page numbers are all '1'.

If I change the line:

\setupbackgrounds[header][leftmargin][setups=layer,background=pagenumber]

to

\setupbackgrounds[page][setups=layer,background=pagenumber]

the page numbering works, so I can get what I want by adjusting the offsets
of the layer.
My question is: should the first one work?

Regards,

Richard
