Thank you so much Wolfgang! I should have realised that. It's what I
get for trying to write readable code.
You can use the = to align keys and values, e.g.
\setuplayout
[backspace=2.5cm,
margin=0.5cm,
width=16cm,
header=1cm,
footer=1cm]
Another useful method is to put large settings into a setups-blocks and
pass the block to a setup-command.
\startsetups [apage]
\startMPcode
StartPage;
...
StopPage;
\stopMPcode
\stopsetups
\defineoverlay[apage][\directsetup{apage}]

Thank you so much Wolfgang! I should have realised that. It's what I get for trying to write readable code.

[NTG-context] Problem with \setuplayout parameters being ignored
Hi
I'm having a strange problem with the \setuplayout command with the
parameters being ignored. In the code below the only parameter which
does get setup is the backspace parameter, the header, footer, width,
and margin parameters are setup differently according to the log. I'm
probably missing something fairly obvious so hints would be helpful. The
document I'm trying to setup will probably be a maximum of 50 pages and
I would like to reduce the space at the top and bottom of the page.
Best Wishes
Keith McKay
