Cool! Is there a way to center the 6″×9″ page on 8½″×11″ paper? I've tried
\setuppapersize[sixbynine][letter]
but that puts the page in the upper-left corner. Right now I'm using
\setuppapersize[sixbynine][sixbynine]
and having Acrobat Reader center this on the printed page. (Which
might well be the best way to do this.)

Thanks; now I can see what I'm doing.

I assume that I'd replace every instance of "\project
firefly_novelization_proj" with "\environment
firefly_novelization_env", correct? But keeping the project file
isn't much hassle, and there might be two volumes, so...

My use of Gentium is a temporary thing for the OpenOffice mockup; I'm
asking for type suggestions on Typophile. For the nonce I'l be
satisfied with the Latin Modern fonts.

Thanks; that was not obvious from any sample document I've seen.

I'm using
\setuplayout
[marking=on
%backspace=48pt, cutspace=96pt,
backspace=36pt, cutspace=84pt,
width=fit, height=fit,
%topspace=72pt,
topspace=48pt, header=12pt, headerdistance=12pt,
%bottomspace=144pt,
bottomspace=120pt, footer=12pt, footerdistance=12pt]
right now. Notice the backspace & cutspace values; the values you
gave me defined some sort of left and right marginal areas with a
separation between them and the main text area, and I wanted the text
area to be 6″×9″. Now I'm thinking there must be a clearer way to
express it, something like:
width=288pt, height=432pt,
header=12pt, headerdistance=12pt,
footer=12pt, footerdistance=12pt,
left**=48pt, right**=96pt, top**=72pt, bottom**=144pt,
something to define an outer marginal area; I don't intend to put
anything in the inner margin]
where the left** &c. define the distance between the paper's edge and
the edge of the text area. Is this what the edgedistance values are?

I'm using those for ideas too; I'm still missing some important things though.
