Thank you, Hans. This tweak works perfectly on a provisional basis.
However, from my relative ignorance of ConTeXt and LMTX, I have a
question: Why is it better at the moment to include this code in
cont-new.mkxl instead on the preamble of my document?
I insist, I do not question this detail. I speak from the lack of
knowledge of a user who wants to learn a little more.

My question will be very simple: Is there a trick to make
\placeinitial command work within makeup pages?
One of my pages inside the /frontmater/ is a quote page within an
special layout. Before using LMTX, when I could use the Lettrine
module, that quote started with a capital letter. But now that I use
\placeinitial, the first letter no longer changes: it remains a
simple initial capital letter.
On the other hand, when I use \placeinitial for each first paragraph
in the chapters of my book, the result is as expected. That is, the
command works fine as long as it stays within the general layout.
This is the code I'm referring to:
\startmakeup[standard][doublesided=yes]
\setuplayout[backspace=176pt,width=194pt]
\setupinterlinespace[line=22pt]
\style[tfa]
\startalignment[hanging,flushleft,nothyphenated]
\placeinitial Ahora, vosotros que amáis, dejadme que os formule una
pregunta: ¿quién sufre más por ello, Arcite o Palamón? ¿El que
ve a su dama diariamente, pero está encerrado para siempre,
o el que es libre de ir donde le plazca, pero no verá
nunca más a su dama? Aquellos de vosotros que podáis, elegid
entre las dos situaciones a voluntad; yo, por mi parte,
continuaré como he empezado.
\stopalignment
\startalignment[hanging,flushright,nothyphenated]
\blank[0.8cm,force]{\tfa\sc Geofrey Chaucer,\hspace[big]}
\blank[0.1cm,force]{\tfa\em The Canterbury Tales \hspace[big]}
\stopalignment
\stopmakeup
You can add this to cont-new.mkxl (assuming lmtx)
\unprotect
\permanent\tolerant\protected\def\flushinitial
{\typo_initial_handle}
\protect
and then
\placeinitial \flushinitial Ahora, ...
will work. More clever automated solutions are likely to interfere and
have side effects for embedded cases so this is the best I can come up
with now.
