Hi Willi,
thank you, I wasn’t aware that \flushlayer works this way. This was also
the problem in my real project.
And I had the wrong layer mentioned in \setupbackgrounds from another test.
Also, cropoffset was interfering in the real project, see my other mail.

Hi Hraban,
if you flush a layer like in your example, then the layer is attached to the
left top of the text area. If you want to place it in another place, you will
have to move it by x and y dimensions to the right place in the first brackets
of the \setlayerframed command . — What would be possible is to attach the
layer as a background to one of the different areas of the paper.
I hope this gives you a hint how to proceed..

Hi again,
I’m always struggling with putting stuff on layers, since these just never
start where I’d expect them to, and the offsets changed a few times within the
last years.
Please explain how I should define a layer that covers the whole page, since
the following MWE is wrong (the layer always starts below the first line):
\useMPlibrary[dum]
\setuppapersize[A5][A4]
\setuplayout[
marking=on,
location=middle,
]
\definemeasure[Bleed][3mm]
\definemeasure[MaxHeight][{\dimexpr\paperheight + 2\measure{Bleed}\relax}]
\definemeasure[MaxWidth][{\dimexpr\paperwidth + 2\measure{Bleed}\relax}]
\definelayer[papier][
preset=lefttop,
%x=0mm,y=0mm,
width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight,
]
\setupbackgrounds[paper][background=cover,state=start]
\starttext
\showframe
TEST
\setlayerframed[papier][
preset=lefttop,
%x=-\measure{Bleed},
%y=-\measure{Bleed},
offset=overlay,
%frame=off,
width=\measure{MaxWidth},
height=\measure{MaxHeight},
]{\externalfigure[dummy][
width=\measure{MaxWidth},height=\measure{MaxHeight}
]}
\flushlayer[papier]
\stoptext
