Henri’s example fails for me in the same way that Floris describes. However, when I remove either or both of the following lines from the first \setuplayout directive, all is well. header=0mm, footer=0mm,

In this example, the complete unnamed layout can simply be removed.

It is not clear why Floris has two layouts defined and active. One is stepping on the other. I do not know if the results of applying multiple layouts should be additive like this, or not, but I would think that they should not be.

but removing the header=0mm, footer=0mm, will redefine the page surface. What i tried was to specify a margin of 10mm around the text block which has 5 columns. This works only if the column balance is set to no. There is probably a good reason for, but i don’t understand it (yet) What is the correct way to define it? .F \setupcolumns[ n=5, distance=4mm, balance=yes, tolerance=tolerant] \setupfootertexts[][] \setuppagenumber[state=none] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \definelayout[WithoutMarginnotes][ location={duplex}, grid=no, topspace=1cm, % height=19cm, height=fit, backspace=1cm, cutspace=0cm, leftmargin=0cm, leftmargindistance=0.4cm, width=fit, rightmargindistance=0cm, rightmargin=0cm, header=0mm, top=0mm, footer=0mm, bottom=0mm ] \setuplayout[WithoutMarginnotes]
