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.
