Use textcommand only for text, numbercommand only for number, command for both; you can see some examples in section Variations in titles .
Thanks for the reply.
The problem with separating the text and number is that the space separating the text and number still appears in the chapter text. On a similar note, why doesn't 'show makeup' display the right margin number?
\def\MyChapterNumberText#1{ \inright{\begingroup \midaligned{#1}
\endgroup}
}
\def\MyChapterText#1{
\begingroup \leftaligned{#1}
\endgroup
}
\setuphead [Topic, chapter] [numbercommand=\MyChapterNumberText, textcommand=\MyChapterText, numberstyle={\switchtobodyfont[48pt]}, textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[12pt]}, color=black, number=yes, page=right, continue=no, header=empty, before=\vbox to 3cm\bgroup, after=\vss\egroup]
\starttext
%\showmakeup

\section{This is a section title} \input tufte \par \input knuth \par
\subsection{This is a sub-section title} \input tufte \par \input knuth \par
