I am trying to setup a number of small pages (A8 size) to print on one
letter size page, and I have been unable to determine how to accomplish
my aim of seeing/printing crop marks, but not seeing/printing page
numbers. I can't find the answer in the manuals, and I have failed in my
attempts to manipulate \setuplayout and \setuppagenumbering
successfully. Maybe someone can point the way to the solution...

Following is my file:

%output=pdftex
\setuppapersize[A8,landscape][letter]
\setupbodyfont[9pt]
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\setuplayout[topspace=2cm,location=middle,nx=2,ny=4,marking=on]
\starttext
   {\hbox
      {\setupframed
        [align=middle,top=\vfill,bottom=\vfill,
         offset=overlay,frame=off]%
       \setupinterlinespace[height=.45,depth=.18,top=1.0,bottom=0.4,line=2.4ex]
       \setupunderbar[bottomoffset=.75ex]
       \framed
        {a few lines of text}}}
\stoptext

What I would like to obtain is something like:

    |           |       |          |
  _               _   _              _

       text                 text

  _               _   _              _
    |           |       |          |

    |           |       |          |
  _               _   _              _

       text                 text

  _               _   _              _
    |           |       |          |     

    |           |       |          |
  _               _   _              _

       text                 text

  _               _   _              _
    |           |       |          |      etc.

What would also work would be:

    |           |          |
  _           _   _          _

       text         text

  _ |         _ | _        | _
    |           |          |     

       text         text

  _ |         _ | _        | _
    |           |          |      etc.     


What I am getting, which doesn't work is:

  1 |         1 | 1        | 1
  _           _   _          _
    
       text         text

  1 |         1 | 1        | 1
  _           _   _          _

  1 |         1 | 1        | 1 

       text         text
                                  etc.

I can't get crop marks without numbers, sorry if the answer is obvious,
but any help will be appreciated.
