Dear List,

I ran into trouble with the widow/orphan-control in context.
I searched the mailinglist, and saw that there were some other threads on the topic bevore, but as far as I am concerned what was suggested there did not work for me when I tried it.

I run context iv using the version which comes with TexLive 2011.

First trail was to include \widowpenalty=9000 and \clubpenalty=9000 at the start of the document, before \starttext (cause I do my setups, and definitions there) As this did not work I tried to put them after \starttext. As well I lowered \brokenpenalty. But both approaches, which were suggested in previous Posts on the ntg-context list failed to show an effect in my case.

Is there anything I could do to prevent the widow lines?

PS.: As I may be doing any noobish errors, here an overview of the documents structure and the placement of the penalty-commands
