Two minor questions

Dear list,

I have 2 small questions:

1. In \setuplayout if I try to set topspace=5\measured{base} +
\dimexpr2bp I get an error. How should I add these 2bp?

2. I have an mp graphic defined in the file "graphic.mp" which has the
exact same dimensions as my page. I'd like to set that graphic as a
background. How do I do this?

\setuplayout
   [topspace=\dimexpr 5\measured{base} + 2bp\relax]

\startreusableMPgraphic{backgroundgraphic}
     input graphic.mp;
\stopreusableMPgraphic

\defineoverlay [backgroundimage] [\reuseMPgraphic{backgroundgraphic}]

\setupbackgrounds [page] [background=backgroundimage]

(Untested)

\dimexpr\measure{base}+2bp\relax

or 

\dimexpr\measured{base}+2bp\relax

should work.

(Again, untested)

\startuseMPgraphic{background-image}
  input graphic.mp;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[background-image][\useMPgraphic{background-image}]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background={background-image}]

Wolfgang, Aditya, thank you both very much!

I have 2 more questions:

Observe the files here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18ve5_F-BKOa-TxCWmD02mhPqNXQvNyWK?usp=sharing

1. I'd like to shift the text area down so that the red lines align with
the blue lines (I think this amount is called depth). How would I do that?
2. The font is such that exactly 2 characters fit into the grid cell, but I
see that towards the end of the line it gets out of sync with the grid. How
would I ensure that all text rendered is strictly monospaced without any
stretching/shrinking trickery?

Sincerely,
Stefan

Quick and dirty:

\setuplayout
   [...,
    topspace=\dimexpr5\measured{base}+2bp+\strutdp\relax,
    ...]

Change the text alignment:

\setupalign[flushleft,broad]

Wolfgang

Thank you very much Wolfgang! But, there is still something weird going on
with the font. I updated the files on Drive. Please see line 19, the last
word "and". It is clearly out of alignment with the gid. I tested the
alignment in MP and it should work, ie 2 characters are indeed one grid
cell (semms from the fact that IBM Plex Mono was designed from a typewriter
typeface where 12 characters are exactly 1 inch long).

I tried \setupspacing[fixed] but it didn't help. To prove that the font
characters really are half a cell wide I added the line \emdash
\dorecurse{39}{ \emdash}. Files on drive are updated.

Do you use double hyphens (--) in your document because this is what 
causes the problem.

Yes I may use them. Why is that a problem? Is it some special context
syntax? How do I escape them or turn them off?

I just found out that it's a tex shorthand for an endash. Is there a way to
globally turn that shortcut off?
