The following code is intended to produce lower-case Roman numeral page
numbers for the first 3 pages before switching to Hindu-Arabic numerals
starting with the Introduction. However, I get Hindu-Arabic numerals instead
of the lower-case Roman numerals page numbers.
\definehead [intro][chapter]
\setuphead [intro][number=no]
\setuppagenumbering
[state=start,
conversion=romannumerals, location=bottom]
\startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
\definecombinedlist [content][intro,chapter,section]
\stopsectionblockenvironment
\startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart]
\stopsectionblockenvironment
\startsectionblockenvironment[backmatter]
\stopsectionblockenvironment
\starttext
\setuppagenumber[state=start]
\startfrontmatter
%sample front matter
\input knuth
\completecontent[alternative=c,criterium=all]
\chapter{Preface}
\input knuth
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\setuppagenumber[state=start,conversion=number,number=1]
\intro{Introduction}
\input knuth
\setupheadnumber[chapter][0] %resets first chapter number to 1
\chapter{I Was Born}
\input knuth
\chapter{I Observe}
\input knuth
\stopbodymatter
\startbackmatter
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext
