We show that the simultaneous determination of the leptonic CP-odd phase$\delta$ and the angle $\theta_{13}$ from the subleading transitions$\nu_e\to\nu_\mu$ and ${\bar\nu}_e\to{\bar\nu}_\mu$ results generically, atfixed neutrino energy and baseline, in two degenerate solutions. In light ofthis, we refine a previous analysis of the sensitivity to leptonic CP violationat a neutrino factory, in the LMA-MSW scenario, by exploring the full range of$\delta$ and $\theta_{13}$. Furthermore, we take into account the expected uncertainties on the solar andatmospheric oscillation parameters and in the average Earth matter densityalong the neutrino path. An intermediate baseline of O(3000) km is still thebest option to tackle CP violation, although a combination of two baselinesturns out to be very important in resolving degeneracies.
