Another option is to define: \startplacesubfigure ... \stopplacesubfigure which could use the current value of figure counter as prefix and increment the subfigure counter. Something similar is there for subformulas in the math mode, but I'll have to go back and check the implementation details.

Re: [NTG-context] Overriding the number on a float
Thanks all for useful tips. I ended up doing something similar as a short
term fix for my float number override issue, basically setting up a new
float type to use for the deviant ones and then resetting the numbering of
the existing ones. It would be great if there was a facility to just drop
in an override on an individual float using the equivalent of
ownnumber={27.1b}, but I appreciate this may be much more complex under the
hood than it seems to a mere mortal. Certainly my brief perusal of the
sources left me baffled, as usual!
Thanks again.
Duncan

Re: [NTG-context] Overriding the number on a float
Hi,
If there are a few special numberings of floats, and one wants floats numbered
1.6a and 1.6b, the following seems to work:

\externalfigure[dummy]
\stopplacefigure
\stopsection
\setcounter[figure][5] % next figure is no.6
\startsection[ownnumber=10,title={A section}]

BTW do sections, items and floats all use counters (\setnumber/\getnumber) or
