Dear list!
Context (Mk IV) balances the bottoms of doublesided pages, even if I
use \raggedbottom. How can I disable this? I'm thinking of something
like "balance=no" for columns, only for pages.
My problem is that I have a one-page float (rotated table) with the size
of the textheight. The opposite page is not completely filled with
text, which makes context crop the height of the page with the float,
too, resulting in a shift of the float into the upper margin. That's
why I want to disable balancing.
Kind regards,
Joshua Krämer

I have found out that I had interpreted the problem wrongly. It is
not a problem of balancing, it is a problem of the layout macros. I
use a different page layout for the titlepage and switch to the main
layout later. This switch is in the front matter part, which results
in the new layout being respected for one page only. Somehow for
subsequent pages, the layout is wrong.
Here's a MWE:
\definelayout[Titlelayout][width=10cm,height=10cm,header=0cm,footer=0cm]
\definelayout[Mainlayout][width=10cm,height=25cm,header=0cm,footer=0cm]
\showframe
\definestartstop[Titlepage][
before={\setuplayout[Titlelayout]},
after={
\page[yes]
\setuplayout[Mainlayout]
}]
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\startTitlepage
Title
\stopTitlepage
\stopfrontmatter
\dorecurse{5}{\input{knuth}}
\placetable[270,page]{none}
{\setupTABLE[option=stretch, textwidth=25cm]
\bTABLE \bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE}
\dorecurse{5}{\input{knuth}}
\stoptext
The frames are drawn correctly on all pages. But only page 2 is filled
with text completely. On subsequent pages, the real layout seems to be
too short. If I remove \startfrontmatter and \stopfrontmatter, the
problem disappears. It also works if I input \setuplayout[Mainlayout]
in the preamble, which is cleaner anyway because it is independent of
the titlepage macros.
Kind regards,
Joshua Krämer

It's not a problem with the macros, it's a consequence of you
using them the wrong way.

Here's a suggestion of how to set it up correctly. This also fixes
the table.
\definemakeup
[Titlelayout]
[top=]
\definelayout
[Titlelayout]
[width=10cm,
height=10cm,
header=0cm,
footer=0cm]
\setuplayout
[width=10cm,
height=25cm,
header=0cm,
footer=0cm]
\showframe
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\startmakeup [Titlelayout]
Title
\stopmakeup
\stopfrontmatter
\dorecurse{5}{\input{knuth}}
\startplacetable [location=270]
\setupTABLE [option=stretch, textwidth=\textheight]
\bTABLE \bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE
\stopplacetable
\dorecurse{5}{\input{knuth}}
\stoptext

Thank you, Marco. The problem with your solution is that in
doublesided mode, after \startmakeup ... \stopmakeup, an empty page is
inserted, but I need to have text on the back of the page. Do you
maybe know how to solve this? MWE:
\definemakeup
[Titlelayout]
[top=]
\definelayout
[Titlelayout]
[width=10cm,
height=10cm,
header=0cm,
footer=0cm]
\setuplayout
[width=10cm,
height=26cm,
header=0cm,
footer=1cm,
footerdistance=0cm]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\showframe
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\startmakeup [Titlelayout]
Title
\stopmakeup
This text should be on the back of the title page.
\stopfrontmatter
\stoptext
Kind regards, Joshua
