Wolfgang, Aditya, thank you both very much!
I have 2 more questions:
Observe the files here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18ve5_F-BKOa-TxCWmD02mhPqNXQvNyWK?usp...
1. I'd like to shift the text area down so that the red lines align with
the blue lines (I think this amount is called depth). How would I do that?
2. The font is such that exactly 2 characters fit into the grid cell, but I
see that towards the end of the line it gets out of sync with the grid. How
would I ensure that all text rendered is strictly monospaced without any
stretching/shrinking trickery?
Sincerely,
Stefan

Dear list,
I have 2 small questions:
1. In \setuplayout if I try to set topspace=5\measured{base} + \dimexpr2bp I get an error. How should I add these 2bp?
(Untested)
\dimexpr\measure{base}+2bp\relax
or
\dimexpr\measured{base}+2bp\relax
should work.
2. I have an mp graphic defined in the file "graphic.mp" which has the exact same dimensions as my page. I'd like to set that graphic as a background. How do I do this?
(Again, untested)
\startuseMPgraphic{background-image} input graphic.mp; \stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[background-image][\useMPgraphic{background-image}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={background-image}]
