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]
These are far too many settings, that usually makes no sense and I doubt you need all of them. At least horoffset and veroffset disturb the page placement on the sheet. There are instructions how to setup a layout properly somewhere in the wiki, but since it was restructured, I can’t find anything any more. Hraban
