The command \setuplayout[location=middle,scale=.5] scales the document correctly, but if I use \setuparranging[2*2] for example, the original scaling is broken. What effect exactly does 'scale=...' in \definepapersize have? There must surely exist a very simple and elegant solution to typeset usual A4 pages scaled down to A5, so that two pages are placed on one in lanscape mode, like in: 1. page (A4 landscape with two A4 pages scaled to A5) *---*---* | | | | 1 | 2 | | | | *---*---* 2. page *---*---* | | | | 3 | 4 | | | | *---*---* ... or that "any" page number (n*n or 2n*n in landscape mode, maybe some other number if page proportions are different; and some blank space is left on the borders) is placed on one page, like in (for 6*3): *--*--*--*--*--*--* | 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| *--*--*--*--*--*--* | 7| 8| 9|10|11|12| *--*--*--*--*--*--* |13|14|15|16|17|18| *--*--*--*--*--*--* \setuparranging[...] does the job, but it is only suitable if someone really wants to make a booklet out of it and one has to supply "original" page sizes (for example A6 to be printed as 2*4 on A4).
