I had tried about everything I could think of. That's the one big 
problem with ConTeXt, it's most of the tim ea matter of trial and error 
and a difficult process of trial and error even. Documentation often 
does only mentions the existence of something without an explanation 
(arguments to commands are seldomly adequately explained). I have been 
fighting with layout parameters yesterday for a document I needed to 
keep within one page.
