Following up on my own note, I see that this fails under LMTX if

a second time. It also works by placing a .tuc file from an older
version of the document into the directory before compiling. Very
strange indeed. The expected output, from one of those successful
compilations:
So. I am clearly doing something wrong, but sometimes LMTX is letting
me get away with it.

Hello list,
The following fails with ConTeXt ver: 2021.10.24 21:45 MKIV but
works with the companion LMTX. The error message is:tex error
> tex error on line 6 in file G:/TestConTeXt/convert.tex: !
Incompatible glue units , pointing to the second \convertnumber line.
\definelabel[XX]%[text=,before=,after=,alternative=inright]
\startTEXpage[offset=2em]
abc\XX[xx]\par
\ref[number][xx] ·
\convertnumber{r}{1} ·
\convertnumber{R}{\ref[number][xx]}
\stopTEXpage
In this case I am trying to display with roman numerals the number
generated in the label created through \definelabel.
Suggestions welcomed.
the conmversion is (partly) done in lua so at some point the
\ref[number][xx]
gets scanned which is more robust in lmtx than in mkiv
normally one does the conversion differently:
\definelabel[XX][numberconversion=R]
\definelabel[YY][XX][numberconversion=A]
\startTEXpage[offset=2em]
1: \XX[xx]\par 2: \YY[xx]
\stopTEXpage

(Resending because attachment was too large.)
That generates a new labeled item albeit with a roman numeral label. I
am trying to get the value of a previously generated numeric label
converted roman numerals. So, consider that I have a numeric label
identifying a paragraph of text. I want to reference that label in
another place but need to do it in Latin.
I want to convert the original label number to a roman numeral for use
in that one place, not generate a new label displayed as a roman
numeral. So,
\definelabel[XX][text=¶]
\define\Naa{\ref[number][aa]}
\define[1]\Nnn{\ref[number][#1]}
\define\Raa{\convertnumber{R}{\ref[number][aa]}}
\define[1]\Rnn{\convertnumber{R}{\ref[number][#1]}}
\startTEXpage[offset=2em]
Paragraph\XX[aa]\par
Paragraph\XX[bb]\par
Paragraph\XX[cc]\par
1: \Naa\par
2: \Nnn{bb}\par
% these fail without an existing tuc file:
I: {\la Vide paragraphum \Raa.}\par
II: {\la Vide paragraphum \Rnn{bb}.}
\stopTEXpage
should produce:
Paragraph *¶ 1
*Paragraph *¶ 2*
Paragraph *¶ 3*
1: 1
2: 2
I: Vide paragraphum I.
II: Vide paragraphum II.
but this fails without an existing good tuc file. If I comment out the
two latin lines, compile (to failure), and then uncomment the lines and
try again, it compiles without error. Does this mean that
\ref[number][label] does not really return a number as \convertnumber
expects?
This is the case with today's upload as well (ConTeXt ver: 2021.10.28
10:19 LMTX).
