Re: [NTG-context] Offseting the baseline grid, and irregular columnsets
So as I understand there are two grids: The baseline grid, and the main grid. The baseline grid is shifted upward by an amount called depth in order to accommodate descenders. I want to be able to control that parameter. That is the space between the last red line (no 16) and the bottom of the text frame (black line).

Thanks Rik, that fixed the issue with at which line the text begins, but I
still get the grid offset.

You left out the comma after the backspace setting. WIth that in, all is

You did not set footerdistance to zero. So, that takes up some space.

I believe that columns has to be an integer. Why do you want
fractional columns? Columns are useful because you can say:
\setlayer[name][line=2,column=3]{}
for absolute positioning of layers. So, you can always use:
\setlayer[name][line=2,column=3,x=0.5\measured{base}]{}
to move everything to the right by 0.5 units.
Another option is not to use columns at all, and simply do:
\setlayer[name][line=2,x=3.5\measured{base}]
which will place the layer at 3.5 units from the left edge of the
text area.

I believe that columns has to be an integer. Why do you want fractional
columns? Columns are useful because you can say:
\setlayer[name][line=2,column=3]{}
for absolute positioning of layers. So, you can always use:
\setlayer[name][line=2,column=3,x=0.5\measured{base}]{}
to move everything to the right by 0.5 units.
Another option is not to use columns at all, and simply do:
\setlayer[name][line=2,x=3.5\measured{base}]
