Hello Hraban
I have no doubt been feeding in erroneous information in the layout, and
not giving ConTexT what it really needs (and in fact all I really require
is typeset page 24 picas wide, 40 picas deep, with a headline 12 point
above the top line of text). At any rate, here is what I have so far (the
width of 627points is supposed to account for margin and edge areas, and
the height of 522 points is experimental - actually not enough as the lower
crop marks come into the text area):
\definepapersize[OUPoctavo][width=627pt, height=522pt]%offset=100pt?
\setuppapersize[OUPoctavo][A4] % paper size, printed on A4
\definelayout[GHIL]
[edge=48pt,
edgedistance=6pt,
margin=72pt,
margindistance=6pt,
topspace=48pt,
header=12pt,
headerdistance=12pt,
height=40pc,
width=24pc,
footerdistance=6pt,
footer=12pt,
bottomdistance=12pt,
bottom=36pt,
location=middle,
marking=on,
horoffset=60pt,
veroffset=0pt,
paper=OUPoctavo,
cutspace=0pt]
\setuplayout[GHIL]
Best wishes
