Hello Hraban
I have no doubt been feeding in erroneous information in the layout, and
not giving ConTexT what it really needs (and in fact all I really require
is typeset page 24 picas wide, 40 picas deep, with a headline 12 point
above the top line of text). At any rate, here is what I have so far (the
width of 627points is supposed to account for margin and edge areas, and
the height of 522 points is experimental - actually not enough as the lower
crop marks come into the text area):
\definepapersize[OUPoctavo][width=627pt, height=522pt]%offset=100pt?
\setuppapersize[OUPoctavo][A4] % paper size, printed on A4
\definelayout[GHIL]
[edge=48pt,
edgedistance=6pt,
margin=72pt,
margindistance=6pt,
topspace=48pt,
header=12pt,
headerdistance=12pt,
height=40pc,
width=24pc,
footerdistance=6pt,
footer=12pt,
bottomdistance=12pt,
bottom=36pt,
location=middle,
marking=on,
horoffset=60pt,
veroffset=0pt,
paper=OUPoctavo,
cutspace=0pt]
\setuplayout[GHIL]
Best wishes

Thanks - I had these settings already but had given far too large a veroffset. By reducing the veroffset I have the printed page further up on the A4 sheet so that the bottom crop marks now show up. But I'm still getting only two (at the left) on an odd page and two (on the right) on an even page. Very odd!
Please show this in a minimal example. The following works for me:
\setuppapersize[A4][A4,oversized] \setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on]
\starttext \showlayout \stoptext
