Hi,
I’d like to check the chapter number like

\ifodd\rawcountervalue[chapter]
What an odd chapter!
\fi

but apparently the counter isn’t called "chapter", or I’m doing it wrong otherwise.
Could you enlighten me?

\namedheadnumber{chapter}

Thank you, but it doesn’t work in my setup where I’m trying to change a background image depending on the chapter number:

\defineoverlay[BG][\start
\ifodd\namedheadnumber{chapter}\relax
\externalfigure[bgimage][height=\overlayheight]
\else
\mirror{\externalfigure[bgimage][height=\overlayheight]}
\fi
\stop]

This is then used with

\setlayerframed[papier][background=BG]

I guess it’s expanded only once.

But it was a bad idea anyway, I wanted more than two variants and now just set them as a uservariable.

Without more information there is no way to provide a solution but for the archive there is below a solution to get mirrored images for even chapters. The background has also a check an image before the start of the first chapter.

\setupexternalfigure[location=default]

\defineoverlay
  [BackGround]
  [\ifzeronum\namedheadnumber{chapter}\relax
     %
   \orelse\ifodd\namedheadnumber{chapter}\relax
     \externalfigure[mill][factor=min]%
   \else
     \mirror{\externalfigure[mill][factor=min]}%
   \fi]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=BackGround]

\starttext

FooBar

\chapter{Foo}

\chapter{Bar}

\stoptext
