Help \setuparranging

Hello, I need to arrange A5 paper inside A4, in order to save paper and so that the cut line always remains inside and the original edge outside. SHEET 01 front reverse ------------ ------------ | | | | | | | 4 | 1 | | 2 | 3 | | | | | | | ------------ ------------ SHEET 02 front reverse ------------ ------------ | | | | | | | 8 | 5 | | 6 | 7 | | | | | | | ------------ ------------ SHEET 03 front reverse ------------ ------------ | | | | | | | 12 | 9 | | 10| 11 | | | | | | | ------------ ------------ I have this code. How can I modify it to achieve what I want? \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP,2SIDE] \showframe \setuplayout[middle] \starttext \dorecurse{100}{\input knuth \relax} \stoptext

You can only use one imposition schema at once, 2UP should be the right one. Hraban

Hi, is there a specific reason why you want to have 12 pages pers section? A standard section normally carries 16 pages. If 16 pages is good for you then you can use \setuparranging[2*2*4] will do this. I.e. you will get 4 sheets of paper with 2 pages on the front and backside of each sheet. Best Willi
