Hi again, in my current book project there are sets of full-page graphics, where there’s first a drawing, to be printed on transparent paper, followed by a water colour picture as background, i.e. a series of
right page: foreground graphic right page: background graphic
The transparent pages are left out in pagination. Between chapters (i.e. stories), the following macro does what I want:
\def\DoublePic#1{ \page[right] % foreground picture on transparent paper
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]\setuppagenumber[state=stop]\par \resetlayer[bg] \setlayer[bg]{\externalfigure[#1-fore][height=\dimexpr(\paperheight+6mm)]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg] \strut\par % page needs some content
\page[right] % background picture on normal paper
\setuppagenumber[state=start]\par \resetlayer[bg] \setlayer[bg]{\externalfigure[#1-back][height=\dimexpr(\paperheight+6mm)]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg] \strut\par
\page \setuppagenumbering[state=start] }
Now, the publisher would like to move the picture pages in the middle of the stories, i.e. I need them to float "here" without manual page breaking. How can I achieve that?
I’d also appreciate enhancements to my macro above.

Thank you very much in advance!
