Fields

Field	Type		Meaning
`baselineEnabled`	bool	optional	Optional. Absent = `true`
`baselineStart`	float	optional	Optional. Offset from the top margin to the first baseline, in points. Absent = `0`
`baselineIncrement`	float	optional	Optional. Baseline spacing in points. Absent = host default (typically the body leading)
`baselineViewThreshold`	float	optional	Optional. Advisory: minimum zoom before a host draws the grid on screen. Not print data
`columns`	int	optional	Optional. Default column count for page text areas. Absent = `1`
`gutter`	float	optional	Optional. Column gutter in points

Document baseline grid and column defaults. Format when present. One entity per document.

The grid is anchored to each page: baselineStart measures down from the page's top margin, then baselines repeat every baselineIncrement. The grid alone moves nothing - text opts in per rig.layout.paragraph_style via alignToBaselineGrid (and baselineGridFirstLineOnly for headings that register only their first line).

Snapping quantises line positions to the next grid slot, so spaceBefore / spaceAfter round up rather than land exactly. Frames and masters do not carry their own grids - one rhythm per document.
