 Is there a separate source/repository/etc. that needs to be specified?


Look here (where the beginning of the path may be different on your
machine/OS):

C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-context\tex\context\base

If m-hemistich.mkiv is there, you have updated the distribution. If not,
you have not updated the distribution.

Another way: Look at a log file from any run and look at the date to
verify that you have updated. Here's mine:

ConTeXt  ver: 2013.08.26 16:41

If you have an older date, you need to update.

Best wishes

From what I understand from Hans's message, m-hemistich is part of the
ConTeXt distribution, so you just need to update your distribution to
install it (i.e., just run first-setup.bat)

The --modules switch in first-setup is for third-party modules (those 
starting with t- )

There seems to be something more fundamental wrong with my setup.
When I do that, I get:

Isn't "first-setup.bat --modules='m-hemistich'" supposed to install the

it's an m- module

just try this:

context --global m-hemistich.mkiv

if that produces a file you should start your docs with

\usemodule[hemistich] % no m-

(using the command line to load modules is only needed for special cases)

Idris,

that's awesome news - I would have never imagined for something like this
to happen so quickly. Unfortunately, I can't get it to run (probably my own
fault). So far I'd been working with TeXLive. Now to try this out, I
installed ConTeXt standalone and then issued "first-setup.bat
--modules='m-hemistich'" (tried 't-hemistich' as well, and yes, Windows -
shame on me). It still gives the error message "resolvers > modules >
'hemistich' is not found", though. What am I missing?

Cheers,
  J.R.
