Yes, Wolfgang, that corrects the minor problem of including the author
name correctly, even when there is no year range. Thank you.
But since I use \title, not \chapter, for the frontmatter items, (
Foreword, Preface, A note on Contributors), the ChapterListCommand
clearly does not apply, so currently my ToC looks as follows (leaving
out the pg numbers which correctly align right):
Foreword
A. Uthor
Preface
A. Uthor
A note on contributors
Chapter One Year range
A. Uthor
What I want is for 'Foreword', 'Preface' and 'A note on Contributors' to
align flushleft with Chapter One, but with author names still where they
should be (Foreword and Preface have authors, 'A note...' does not have
an author).
So I tried creating a TitleListCommand which copies the
ChapterListCommand. But where I run into difficulties then is with a new
lot of \setuplist to accommodate that. There are three different labels
involved (Foreword, Preface, and A note on Contributors).
And why is it that even with the current setup, 'Foreword' has aligned
with author name, not with 'Preface' and 'A note...'? All three are
\title, after all.
All in all this is a most complicated ToC! What I need is for the ToC to
look like I show it below, and you will note the additional complication
of Chapter Two which does not have an author, but instead it is the
SECTIONS in the Chapter that have authors!
I'm sure if I can get on top of all this somehow, no future ToC is ever
going to cause me problems! The body of the book is all looking good,
all 300 pages of it. It is just the automatically produced ToC that is
causing the headaches.
Foreword A. Uthor pg no.
Preface A. Uthor "
A note on Contributors "
Chapter One Chapter Title
A. Uthor "
Chapter Two Chapter title
A section Context
A. Uthor "
Another section Reflection
A. Author "
So what I have below as an MWE is fundamentally what you gave me (I have
left out the correctly working ChapterListCommand), altered for \title,
but I haven't got the setups below correct because I don't know how to
do it. I have replaced unknowns with a question mark!
And at the moment I have nothing for the 'sections' with authors I need
for Chapter Two. I assume I would set up a third definition called
\SectionListCommand. Sections will have different labels too - one will
be called 'Context', the other 'Reflection'.
\define[3]\TitleListCommand
{\hbox\bgroup
\hbox to 3cm{\currentlistsymbol\hss}% number + labeltext
\vtop\bgroup
\hsize\dimexpr\makeupwidth-3cm\relax
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{year}}
{{\it\structurelistuservariable{year}}\crlf}%
\currentlistentrytitle % title
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{author}}
{\crlf{\structurelistuservariable{author}}}%
\hfill\currentlistentrypagenumber % pagenumber
\egroup
\egroup}
\setuplist
[chapter]
[label=chapter,
alternative=command,
command=\ChapterListCommand]
\setuplist
[title]
[label=?,

command=\TitleListCommand]
\setuplabeltext

[chapter={\bf Chapter }]
\setuplabeltext

[title={\bf ? }] %There needs to be three different labels

Thanks Wolfgang, while I don't pretend to fully understand the setup
you have provided (but am working on doing so!), of course it
provides the correct result for a chapter that has a title, an
author, and a year.
My ever-so-complicated book (and its authors!) however, throws one
small further complication into the mix.
Where a chapter does not have a year-range, and I either omit that
declaration, or I leave the curly brackets empty (e.g. year={}), then
I find that the author name also does not appear in the ToC. What
adjustment to the \ChapterListCommand do I need to make to
accommodate the following? Possibly an \else statement, but not sure
how to include that:
\startchapter [title={Chapter title}] [author={Author Name}]
I forgot to change the argument for the check off the author entry,
this should fix it.
\define[3]\ChapterListCommand
{\hbox\bgroup
\hbox to 3cm{\currentlistsymbol\hss}% number + labeltext
\vtop\bgroup
\hsize\dimexpr\makeupwidth-3cm\relax
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{year}}
{{\it\structurelistuservariable{year}}\crlf}%
\currentlistentrytitle % title
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{author}}
{\crlf{\bf\structurelistuservariable{author}}}%
\hfill\currentlistentrypagenumber % pagenumber
\egroup
\egroup}
