Hi,
I’m working at the current CG journal whose layout uses columnsets. They aren’t
usable any more. Same in current LMTX and MkIV.
- the first line can start one or more lines lower
- then the same number of lines is printed over each other at the bottom
- it gets worse with footnotes (looks like their space isn’t considered at all)
- if the column set doesn’t start at the top of the page, the second column does

Personally I'd never use columnsets for anything else than very
controlled situations because that's what they were made for. Not to be
mixed with the normal pagebuilder. So, first of all you need to operate
on the grid (i can probably get rid of some side effects and maigt even
force that but not now). Then, \chapter itself flushes pages so that
should be disabled.
Here is a simple example:
\setuplayout[lines=40,grid=yes]
\definecolumnset[cgjcolset][n=2]
\starttext
\definecolumnsetspan
[chapter]
[background=color,
backgroundcolor=red]
\setuphead[chapter][page=no,after=,before=]
\startcolumnset[cgjcolset]
\startcolumnsetspan[chapter]
\chapter{This is a chapter about column sets}
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{20}{
\samplefile{sapolsky}\par
}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
