Hi, replying to my self:
I was not aware of this macro \convert{new_form}{number_to_be_converted} So in the meantime the commands which give the correct result become: \unexpanded\def\Mychaptercommand#1#2#3{\blank CHAPTER~\convertnumber{R}{#1}.\blank{#2}.\hskip0.25\bodyfontsize} \unexpanded\def\Mysectioncommand#1#2#3{#2, \hskip0.5\bodyfontsize #3.\hskip0.25\bodyfontsize} used in \setuplist [chapter] [prefix=no, sectionnumber=no, headnumber=no, alternative=command, command=\Mychaptercommand] \setuplist [section] [prefix=no, sectionnumber=no, headnumber=no, alternative=command, command=\Mysectioncommand] Again thank you Wolfgang!
