Hi all.

I have a book with parts and chapters, which wants a tint in the background of the header line. I have the following set-up producing almost what I want (apologies for the length but I've stripped out as much as I can to still show the same effect):

--
\setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=right]
%...
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout[location=doublesided,
backspace=8.5pc,topspace=5.5pc,top=0pt,topdistance=0pt,
header=12pt,headerdistance=12pt,height=61pc,footer=16pt,
bottom=6pc,leftedge=9pc,leftedgedistance=0pt,leftmargin=0pt,
leftmargindistance=0pt,width=29pc,rightmargindistance=0pt,
rightmargin=6.5pc,rightedgedistance=0pt,rightedge=6.5pc]
\setuphead[part]
[placehead=yes,command=\XPart,resetnumber=no,page=right,
header=high,before=,after=]
\def\XPart#1#2{#1 #2} %simplified
\setuphead[chapter]
[command=\XChapter,header=high,
before=\vbox to 14pc\bgroup,after=\vss\egroup]
\def\XChapter#1#2{#1 #2} %simplified
%...
\setupcolors[rgb=no,cmyk=no,spot=yes,state=start]
\definecolor[PantoneTwoNineFour][c=1,m=.56,y=0,k=.18]
\definecolor[IFSblueheadertint][PantoneTwoNineFour][p=.12]
%...
\setupbackgrounds[header]
[leftedge,leftmargin,text,rightmargin,rightedge]
[background=color,backgroundcolor=IFSblueheadertint,state=start]
\setupheader[state=start]
\setupheadertexts[margin]
[]
[\hfill\llap{\tfx\getmarking[chapter][current]}]
[\hbox to \leftmarginwidth{\rlap{\tfx\getmarking[section][last]\hfil}}]
[]
%...
\starttext
\startbodymatter
\part{First part}
Looks good, but still has band on next page
\chapter{First chapter}
Looks good, no band on first page of chapter. \page[yes]
\section{First section}
Looks good, the band is there. \page[yes]
\section{Second section}
Looks good, the band is still there.
\chapter{Second chapter}
Ugh, the band has impinged on my title, and I'm getting an extra odd page at the end too.
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext

The above code runs in live.contextgarden.net and demonstrates my problems, which are:

1. The big problem - the second chapter title page doesn't suppress the band, even though the first one did. NB this behaviour seems to change depending on whether the previous chapter ends on an odd or even page. Bug, or incorrect header setup?

2. Empty pages (like the back of the part title) have the colour band on them - how can this be suppressed for empty pages?

3. There's an extra odd page at the end (I've tried a few of the suggested fixes for this but can't get them to work).

If anyone can answer, especially question 1, I'd be really grateful!

Thanks,

Duncan
