Hans, thanks for responding. I don't understand the above statement. What number of lines does 60 exceed? Is there a hard-coded limit? (We didn't seem to have a problem with this code before we migrated from XeTeX / mkii to LuaTeX / mkiv, but I couldn't guarantee what else is different.) Is there a workaround for us now? I could leave out the \setupcolumnsetlines commands for the moment, and hope we don't overflow the page. Actually I'm not sure what will happen if we leave the number of lines at the default (which is apparently zero?). Regards, Lars

Column sets allocates a box for each line but does that dynamically (i.e. at the start of a columnset) but the min/max settings in the above command don't check for that so if you have a 55 line layout you get an overflow.

I've added a check.

no, more like 55 or so (depends on the layout settings)

OK, I think I understand now.
/ Is there a workaround for us now? / I've added a check.
I'm not sure what this means. I guess it will prevent the error message from occurring. Is it something I would get from a nightly development snapshot? If so, where do I find it? But it also sounds like there's no point in our having a setting of 60 lines when there are only 42 lines in our layout (that's the number above which this error occurs). So I need to either tweak our layout, or reduce the number of lines I'm asking for in a columnset. Thanks, Lars
