Is there a problem with having location=middle in setuplayout and location=doublesided in setuppagenumbering?

Never mind; I had done something dumb with the margin widths.

Anyhow, I'm trying the environment shown below, but I'm evidently not understanding what the various *space values are. Only cutspace seems to work as I expected it to; even the text area isn't the right size (unless the rectangle isn't around the text area itself).

\definepapersize[sixbynine][width=6in,height=9in] \setuppapersize[sixbynine][letter] \setuplayout [marking=on, location=middle, textwidth=288pt, textheight=432pt, header=12pt, headerdistance=12pt, topspace=72pt, footer=12pt, footerdistance=12pt, bottomspace=144pt, leftmargindistance=12pt, leftmargin=24pt, backspace=48pt, rightmargindistance=12pt, rightmargin=24pt, cutspace=96pt] \setuppagenumbering[location=doublesided] \showframe

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout you should also set only "backspace and textwidth" ond no "cutspace" or you set "backspace and cutspace" and let ConTeXt calculate the textwidth. What do you mean by the rectangle around the text area. Wolfgang
