Just a quick and dirty solution. The trick is to draw the extra line as
part of the graphic and then fake the boundingbox. This is also limited
to a few centimeter, objects are cut off after you reach that
'invisible' border around the boundingbox.
I would use uniqueMPgraphic with proper parameters for the graphics.
Using overlays is also possible (urcorner OverlayBox), but I see no real
need or benefit to do so.

[NTG-context] Reference text differing from title
Hi,
Is it possible to change the text shown in \about[...] to be something else
than the text given to the titel key of \startsection?
\starttext
\startsection[
title={Very Long},
% referencetext={Short}, % - is there something like this?
reference=mysec]
We are now in \about[mysec]. % - should render as Short
\stopsection
\stoptext
I have tried the following, but it introduces vertical white space:
\starttext
\startsection[title={Very Long}]
\reference[mysec]{Short} %- introduces white space
We are now in \about[mysec].
\stopsection
\stoptext
Thank you for any help,
Christoph

[NTG-context] wrong line break in linenotes
Dear list,
sorry for writting again about this, but I have this sample:
\showframe
\definepapersize[HippPaper][width=6in, height=9in]
\setuppapersize[HippPaper]
\setupnote[linenote][rule=off, paragraph=yes, split=verystrict,
scope=text, inbetween=\hskip1.5em, compress=yes]
\setupnotation[linenote][numbercommand=, width=broad,
alternative=serried, distance=1em]
\starttext
\startlinenumbering
\showhyphens{testing paragraph}
\dorecurse{50}{This\linenote{That} is\linenote{was} a\linenote{one}
testing\linenote{nesting} sentence\linenote{table}. }
\stoplinenumbering
\stoptext
It has wrong line breaks in linenotes with latest beta from 2014.11.17
14:32. It has also wrong linebreaks with stable version form 2014.01.03
00:40.
But line breaks are right with version 2013.05.28 00:36 (which comes
with TeX Live 2013).
Line breaks are right, if I use footnotes instead of linenotes.
Could anyone confirm this bug?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Yes it helped Peter, thank you. Interesting moves with the mpost bounding box.
I thought I might need more flexibility—overlays—but it has turned out that
single mp graphic with labels for the commentary will work for the task.
Thanks again, John

[NTG-context] setupinmargin, setupmargindata ; page numbers ; fonts
Hi all,
I am having trouble with the control of fonts in \inmargin{} and in page
numbers. I'm also having trouble with the alignment in \inmargin{}, and with
font sizes generally.
I've used what I know about \setupmargindata and \setupinmargin(and
\setuppagenumbering).
Below is an example that (almost) does what I want.
The two or three problems I've tried and failed to solve are
1. control over the font size of the marginal note (rather than just \small; I
want to choose a point-size)
2. control over the font and size of the page number. At first I used
\setuppagenumbering[location={header, right, inmargin}] (yes, one of 'right' and
'inmargin' seems to be redundant). Getting a sans-serif page number, I assumed
that \setupmargindata was controlling that, so I just switched to 'right', but
my page number is still sans-serif. I've tried such things as [location={header,
right}, style={normal, small}], as well as variants {\small}, {normal},
{\normal}, serif, \serif, etc. with not luck
3. in \setupmargindata and \setupinmargin, none of the 'align=' options seems to
have any effect.
More generally, I have trouble understanding how to specify font sizes in
ConTeXt, how to set up the font and font-size of page elements, how to include
comma-separated lists following 'style=', where even within braces all but the
first option seems to be ignored (at least in my margin setup commands).
I also can't figure out why, though the default (location) for
\setuppagenumbering is {header, center} (and (font style) normal?), my page
numbers default to sans, and when 'location=right' is specified without
'header', the page number is on the right in the ... footer (?!)
Thanks for any help. -Richard

1. The font for the pagenumber can be changed with \setuppagenumbering[style=…].
2. To use a certain font size for the margin text you can either use the
\switchtobodyfont
command or define a font command with \definefont and use this name as
argument
for the style key in \setupmargindata.
3. The alignment in the margin text can be set with \setupmarginframed or the
second
optional argument of \inmargin.
