It looks like it gives up after two folds (katernen), but I do not know why (normally I refer people to you for problems with arranging stuff). Taco

That is fine sofar. Anyway this problem is not solvable with my knowledge :-( Unfotunately the problem might be more complicated. If I compile the whole text as given in the example (Psyche by L. Couperus) then the mess is even more complicated. I am using linotype palatino in this case: booklet 1 is shifted to the right approx. the veroffset (?!), booklet 2 is correctly placed, booklet 3 is again shifted as 1., booklets 4 upto 11 are placed correctly. If I change the font to the palatino included in TeX: booklet 1,4 upto 11 are placed correctly, booklets 2,3,8 are shifted to the right approx. the amount of veroffset. If you want to test I am prepared to send you the whole. Kind regards Willi

Looks like it is caused by the auto-inserted empty pages. This looks ok to me:
\dorecurse {35}{% .. as before } \page \setuppagenumbering[location=] \dorecurse {13}{~\page}% \stoptext
You are right, the number of pages can be divided by 8, so no problem. If you change the second loop to run 15 times it is again present Willi
