Ah, I see! The reason I asked is I didn't see any frame with your code... I presume I need to hook some MP overlay into textbackground?

No, that doesn't solve my problem :-( Compare the two buffers and watch the space between the frame's top border and the first line of text:
---
\definelayer
[test]
[width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight]
\setupbackgrounds
[page]
[background=test]
\starttext
\startbuffer[test]
\hsize=12cm
\startsimplecolumns
\input zapf
\stopsimplecolumns
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[test2]
\input zapf
\stopbuffer
\setlayerframed
[test]
[x=5cm,
y=10cm]
[width=12cm,
% align=normal,
offset=none]
{\getbuffer[test]}
% {\getbuffer[test2]}
\page[empty]
\stoptext
---
Also, I forgot to mention that I need three columns... my apologies.
> You can set \textheight in the streamlayer settings and disable the balancing for columns.
I managed to disable the balancing but I can't get the text height right. I'm probably not seeing the obvious but neither
\textheight{10cm}
nor
\overloadtextwidth{10cm}
between \startsetups and \stopsetups do the job :-( Please advise...
