hi rudolf (& list), thank you for your 'quick hack', it's ok for my current solution. page number, margins and background and stuff like grid alignment are still a problem ... but, i suppose, there must be :-) a tiny piece of code in ConTeXt, where the rotation of the whole page can be achieved (but still treating the page as a landscape page for the above setup arranging layer) maybe someone knows how to do it and can share his knowledge ... ? cheers artur On 02/26/2014 05:46 PM, Rudolf Bahr wrote:

hi all,
using
\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2] \setuparranging[XY] \showframe[cut=true]
\setuppapersize[A4] \starttext \setuppapersize[A6][A4] Page 1. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page Page 2. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page \setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4] Page 3. A5 \input knuth \stoptext
i ALMOST get the wished layout. the only problem is, that the A5 page is in landscape mode.
is there a kind of quick hack to change the orientation of the A5 page to protrait, by leaving \setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4] as it stands (othewise the layout doesn't function)?

Hello Artur,
meanwhile I played a bit and got:
% ------------------------------------------------ \setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2] \setuparranging[XY] \showframe[cut=true]
\setuppapersize[A4] \starttext \setuppapersize[A6][A4] Page 1. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page Page 2. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page \setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4] \rotate[rotation=90] { \vbox to 100mm { \hsize=80mm Page 3. A5 \input knuth } } \stoptext % ------------------------------------------------
Ofcourse, the pagenumber remains, where it has been before.
Greetings, Rudolf
