To summarize, Taco kindly solved this problem after exchanging some messages
with me off list - thank you Taco.
The key is, when using a papersize other than the A4 default with XY, it is
necessary to first explicitly set the appropriate papersize. This enables
the XY calculations to expand properly.
For example:
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setuppapersize [XY][letter]
\setuppaper[nx=3,ny=10,dx=2mm,dy=0mm,topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm]
\setuplayout [location=middle]
\setuparranging [XY]
\showframe
\starttext \dorecurse{30}{test} \stoptext
This is a very handy way to generate a centered layout for labels of any
size. The spacing between the labels is easily controlled with dx and dy.
Thanks for the help solving this,
Matt
