Very nice. I now use:
    \setuptyping[

      blank=small,

      lines=no,

      margin=30pt,

    ]


I have a bigger margin now. The problem is that there is a lot of white
space above and under the typed text. I tried the blank and lines parameters
to get rid of it, but that does not work. How can I get rid of the unwanted
white space?
