Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. The text structure is more complex. The document uses sections as second-level chapters. I mean, they have a page break before. It is a huge book, divided in parts, which contains units. Each unit contains the standard explanation, different explanation approaches, and other additional information in some units. Each unit is a chapter. The explanation, the exercise sets and the additional material are a section each. And both chapters and sections need to be numbered as page/lastpage (for each). > The hard part is to find a hook for this because AFAIK there is no > simple key to do this (e.g. \setuppaper[setups=...]).

Now I have to adapt this to the huge document.
