Hello, @Aditya: Thanks for the tip - maybe some inspiration for me.
Anyway, I keep on trying to create my previously described function with Lua.
Now, I have a code which does much expected, but I'm not able to pass the
desired content to setups/layer:
----
\setupbodyfont[30pt]
\starttext
A
\definelayer [beforetext][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]
\defineoverlay[beforetext][{\setups[beforetext]\tightlayer[beforetext]}]
\startsetups[beforetext]
\setlayer[beforetext][preset=righttop]{\framed[width=2in]{\directlua{context(userdata.LPr.text)}}}
\stopsetups
\startluacode
userdata = userdata or {}
userdata.LPr = userdata.LPr or {}
for i = 1, 2 do
context.startTEXpage{background="foreground,beforetext"}
userdata.LPr.text = "BEF" .. i
context.externalfigure({"cow"},{width="30cm"})
context.stopTEXpage()
end
\stopluacode
Z
\stoptext
----
Both images of the cow have "BEF2" in the top right corner, but there should be "BEF1" on
the former and "BEF2" on the latter.
I'm trying to pass the text string ("BEF" .. i) via userdata, but it doesn't
work.
So how to do it?

(The mail purpose of the module was to cut 2 column journal papers to one column PDF so that they are easy to read on an eink reader. I haven't used this in a while, so it may not work out of the box). https://github.com/adityam/cut-n-paste/blob/master/tex/context/third/cut-n-paste/t-cut-n-paste.tex In this case, I used a MetaPost overylay to draw the page number (search for cnp:text). The user could manipulate the location of the page number by using the location key (which had to be a valid Metapost pair). Aditya
