Hi,
imposition in ConTeXt is great, but...
1. When I last used it (MkII), I had to invoke texexec with the --arrange option or something like this. Does it work in an easier way with MkIV? (I mean, I just do context filename and don't care about multiple runs etc.)
In MkIV you don't need to pass --arrange. In one of my projects, I have \setuppapersize[halfletter][letter,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] (where halfletter is a user-defined page) and just calling context works.
2. I'd like to prepare a cheat sheet of size, say, A6, so I want *the same page* to be repeated 4 times on an A4 sheet. Is there a "canonical" way to do it? (I mean, other than copying-and-pasting, or equivalently, defining a macro and repeating it 4 times?)
You can write a macro that reads a pdf file and outputs each of its page four times. For example (untested): \getfiguredimensions[file]% \edef\NOfpages{\noffigurepages}% \dorecurse{\NOfpages} {\dorecurse{4} {\startTEXpage \externalfigure[file][page=\recurselevel]% \stopTEXpage}} and then do the arranging.
