\setuppapersize[A4][A3]
\setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on]
\setupbodyfont[modern]
\definelayer[cropmark][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=cropmark]
\setlayer[cropmark][preset=middlebottom,y=-\lineheight]{Bottom Text}
\setlayer[cropmark][preset=middletop,y=-\lineheight]{Top Text}
\starttext

This works for one page, but when I increase the length of the text to
take multiple pages, the top and bottom text only appears on the first

Hello,
Under mkii we used to have a running footer that appeared below the crop
marks. Under mkiv I can't get that to work.
The MWE I'm trying (with ConTeXt mkiv from the TeXLive 2013 CD):
\def\TopText { Top Text }
\def\BottomText { Bottom Text }
\def\pagecutmarksymbol {\the\realpageno}
\def\pagecutmarklength {.5cm}
\let\pagecutmarktoptext \TopText
\let\pagecutmarkbottomtext \BottomText
\setuplayout[marking=text]
%\setuplayout[marking=on]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
Code like this used to work for us in mkii.
Redefining internal commands isn’t a good solution, what you can do is to
use a layer to place your texts.
Thanks for your reply.
When you say redefining internal commands, is that referring to
statements like
\let\pagecutmarktoptext \TopText
?
AFAICT this is the recommended solution, both on the current wiki
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition#Cut_marks) and by Hans
(http://context.markmail.org/thread/kpayudrtabsti76i) albeit several years
ago; the current ref man (section 3.4 Page design / page composition) also
lists marking=TEXT as an option for \setuplayout. If this is correct, how is
one supposed to specify the text to display?
Am I misunderstanding the documentation, or is it just obsolete?

Thanks, this looks very helpful. I'll give it a try.
