Thanks. Just two clarifications (also noting that I altered 'forword' in
yours to 'foreword' in mine in every instance, just to get the spelling
right):
1. Compiling your example just as it is below produces a result like:
[foreword: – – 2]Chapter 1 Chapter 1
A. u. thor 3
We obviously should not be getting [foreword: --2] in our result, nor a
doubling up of Chapter 1
2. Where do I stand now with the earlier definition (I mean the
\define[3]\ChapterListCommand. Is that still used? Including its
\setuplist part? What you have just given me now makes no reference to
\ChapterListCommand, so perhaps it is no longer relevant?

Have to confess I am still not getting far with the final problem in
a book that is now fully laid out: frontmatter through to appendices
is all correct and working, but the Table of Contents not the way I
need it (as explained earlier and listed in a previous email).
My latest effort focuses on just one item, the Foreword, since if I
get that right, I can apply the same logic to sections. Chapters are
already working correctly, thanks to Wolfgang's ChapterListCommand
and I am assuming I need that for the several frontmatter 'chapters'.
I was earlier using \title for foreword, preface and notes to
contributors, but have abandoned that as complicating things, and am
now using \chapter, since it does not produce a numbered item -
however, it is producing the label 'Chapter' which I don't want for
these item. You can see below how I tried to avoid that, but it
failed. My MWE addition to what Wolfgang provided is:
\definehead [foreword] [chapter]
\setuphead [foreword]
\setuplist [foreword]
[label=foreword,
alternative=command,
command=\ChapterListCommand]% definition not included here. It was
given in an earlier response from Wolfgang.
.... And in the frontmatter itself:
\startchapter[foreword][title={\ss Foreword}][author={A. Uthor}]
..........
You can set the forword string as labeltext and ignore the title (but
use a empty argument when set userdata like the author).
\definehead
[forword] [chapter]
\setuplabeltext
[en]
[forword=Forword,
chapter=Chapter ]
\setuphead
[forword]
[frontpartlabel=forword,
conversion=empty]
\setupsectionblock
[frontpart]
[number=yes]
\setuplist
[forword]
[label=forword,
width=2cm]
\setuplist
[chapter]
[label=chapter,
width=2cm]
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\placelist [chapter,forword]
\startforword [] [author={A. u. thor}] \stopforword
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\startchapter [title=Chapter 1] [author={A. u. thor}] \stopchapter
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext
