Thank you very much. It worked.

This puzzled me a lot, as seemingly the same setup refused to work in my
document. Then I started to delete other preamble content step by step,
and the grid still didn't work after I removed all of it. Then I found
out that the "grid" option was not being read at all, because there was
a space character before the comma. My setuplayout looked like that:
\setuplayout[%%
	width=105mm ,%%
	height=162mm ,%%
	backspace=20mm ,%%
	topspace=18mm ,%%
	header=0pt ,%%
	footerdistance=5mm ,%%
	footer=5mm ,%%
	marking=off ,%%
	location=doublesided,%%
	veroffset=5mm ,%%
	grid=yes ,%% <<space character ruins the option
	margin=15mm ,%%
	%top=5mm ,%%
]%%

When can I use a space like that, and I can't? I found out that also
some other options can't be followed by a space. Why is that?
