[NTG-context] LMTX install
Someone will quickly clarify what I am doing wrong here. Have used mkiv until now but decided to download and install LMTX in /home/me/bin/context. I then ran export PATH=/home/me/bin/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH as the install script indicated at the end. When running mk iv, I always first ran a setup line (in my case it was . /home/me/Documents/Freedom/Context/tex/setuptex). Do I need to run a setup also for LMTX installed as above? And what one, because there is no 'setuptex' as far as I can see. If I just run context myfile.tex I get the mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' message. Does this mean my 'path' command didn't work (and why not? It should have) or do I still need to run a setup before I try to compile?

[NTG-context] Special layouts don't recognise placeinitial
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

[NTG-context] Define new symbol by stitching two symbols together
I would like to define new symbols by stitching together existing
glyphs. This is what I have come up so far:
\define[1]\Transition{-\!\![#1]\!\!\rightarrow}
\starttext
\m{L\Transition{A}R}
\stoptext
This should render as -[ ]->, ideally with no space between the dash or
the arrow and the brackets, i.e., -[ should appear like a single glyph;
ditto for ]-->. With the definition above, however, the space is
variable, and in some circumstances the gliphs overlap.
How can I improve the above definition?

It took a few trial and error that \the\everyinitializeverbatim must come after \usealignparameter. However, using \nohypencollapsing after \usealignparameter means that I cannot get hypenated lines (something which had been requested in the past for t-vim). See the attached file.

I wish I could. PDF annotations are a mess in MuPDF (this affects versions from 3.2). PDF annotations in SumatraPDF-3.3 are huge, even preventing the text from being readable. And they are always printed (since all contain "/F 4"), no matter that no appearance dictionary allows to print them. I have already discussed that with people from Artifex, but it seems that they won’t change their mind about this. It would be helpful that PDF annotations in ConTeXt with no associated appearance dictionary could have "/F 0" (so that MuPDF doesn’t print them).
