Re: no frontmatter head on recto page

No, Taco, that is not resolving the problem. I added your suggestion 
(header=start) to what I already had for \setuphead for 'foreword':

\setuphead
   [foreword]
   [frontpartlabel=foreword,
    conversion=empty,
    header=start]

but it makes no difference.

I am already aware that chapter, on which my foreword definition is 
based, by default does not give a header on the first page. It is 
subsequent recto pages that are the problem. So, for example, the 
Foreword (which starts on a recto page) has three pages. The first, 
correctly, has no header. The second carries the book title header 
(called in by [{\hfill\documentvariable{metadata:title}\hfill}][] I 
presume). But the third and final page does not have the header 
'Foreword' which my publisher wants. The same is happening with other 
frontmatter items (and indeed, appendices too) I have defined, but if I 
solve the Foreword problem, I will know how to solve those too.

When I had this problem with another book I was working on, having 'yes' 
in \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=yes] seemed to solve the problem, 
but I didn't understand why it did! And it does not work in this 
instance. It may be that something else in my preamble is missing 
something or indeed preventing something! Any other thoughts on this?

I could, offlist, send you my entire preamble (too long for the list I 
think) just in case something else is causing the problem that I am 
unaware of, but maybe you or someone else can still identify just what 
it is that might stopping the 'Foreword' recto header from appearing in 
this case.
