Hello
For some reason I'm having a lot of trouble getting the page to include precisely 40 lines of text (10.5 Baskerville with an interline depth of 12 points). On an experimental file with 6 full-depth pages and no footnotes, I find that the first three have 39 lines and the second three have the desired 40 lines. You will see from the code below that I have been tinkering a lot, but it ought to be a simple matter! Can someone let me know what I should be doing?
Here's the code (and I have to desert my desk now till this afternoon so am not in a hurry for an answer!):
\definepapersize[OUPoctavo][width=136mm,
height=214mm]%should be 216!
\setuppapersize[OUPoctavo][A4]
% paper size, printed on A4
\definelayout[GHIL]

% lines=40%this messes up position on the A4 page
