Hans, you forgot to define a \testitem... \starttext
\definelabel[test][text=,numberconversion=character,stopper=!] \define[1]\testitem{{#1} {\test}} \resetcounter[test] \startcombination[2*2] \testitem{first} \testitem{second} \testitem{third} \testitem{fourth} \stopcombination \stoptext Now, adding \setupcombinations [before={\resetcounter[test]}] would be incorrect as the counter would get reset for each row...
