You're missing a StopPage but anyway, this is not really a use case for
startMPpage, you can do this:
\definepapersize
[cover]
[width=330mm,
height=240mm]
\setuppapersize
[distance=38mm]
\setuplayout
[backspace=18mm,
width=129mm,
height=223mm]
\setuplayout
[marking=color,
location=middle,
cropoffset=0mm,
trimoffset=-7.5mm,
bleedoffset=3mm]
\starttext
\setuppapersize[cover][oversized]
\startpagemakeup
\paperbleed 1mm
\spinewidth 15mm
\startMPcode
StartPage;
fill Page enlarged PaperBleed withcolor "yellow" ;
draw leftboundary Page shifted ( PaperWidth/2-SpineWidth/2,0) ;
draw rightboundary Page shifted (-PaperWidth/2+SpineWidth/2,0) ;
StopPage;
\stopMPcode
\stoppagemakeup
If we can find keys for these two already present variables we can
interface them better.
bleed=
spine=
But I want to hear Wolfgang (consistency) and Willi (bookbinding)
opinions on this. The two dinwmnsions will stay anyway (have been there
for a while).
