Apparently, I mistook what the doublesided option does for layers. I've currently solved the problem in the following way:

\definelayer[test][doublesided=yes]

\setlayer[test][odd][..,..=..,..]{content}

\setlayer[test][even][..,..=..,..]{content}

Indeed, but if I want both sides to always have the same content, I need to double-code every content insertion, or write a macro to do that for me. It just moves the trickery somewhere else :) My expectation was that when \setlayer is used without specification on a doublesided layer, it would set the content for both sides. Alternatively, a way to specify (even via presets) a position which is page-parity dependent would be a good thing. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
