Comment

It seems, that \setupinterlinespace[line=XX\baselineskip] interacts badly with \setuplayout while \setupinterlinespace[big] works fine.

Those used to traditional typography specifications (e.g. "eleven point type on fourteen point leading" written as 11/14) would use the following:

\setupbodyfont [11pt]            % 12pt is the default font size
\setupinterlinespace [line=14pt] % default: line=2.8ex

Example

\starttext
{\definedfont[Serif at 32pt]This is the long long long title of my book.\par}

{\definedfont[Serif at 32pt]\setupinterlinespace This is the long long long title of my book.\par}
\stoptext
