Hi all, please have a look at my example. \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[location=middle] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \defineoverlay[right][{\scale[width=\textwidth]{right page}}] \defineoverlay[left] [{\scale[width=\textwidth]{left page}}] \setupbackgrounds[rightpage][background=right] \setupbackgrounds[leftpage] [background=left] \starttext \showframe[text] \dorecurse{5}{test\page} \stoptext Is there a way to push the right pages on the right and the left on the left? I tried to add a blank page at the beginning but then also a second page is added and the problem remains. I appreciate any help Andreas

Hi Andreas, [2SIDE] is an impositioning scheme for singlesided printing only. You can not make a booklet from this. This scheme is intended for e.g. handouts from a screenpresentation. The same applies for [2TOP] If you want to prepare a booklet you might use [2UP] or [2DOWN]. These two schemes are for double sided printing. When playing with impositioning it is a good idea to add pagenumbers, so you can see what happens. e.g. \starttext \strut\page \dorecurse{5}{test~\pagenumber\page} \stoptext Willi On 21 Oct 2010, at 18:05, Andreas Harder wrote:

Hi Willi, thanks for your reply. But I had no booklet in mind. I prepared a proceeding which will be published (DIN A5 format). In addition I would like to provide a print version with two A5-sites on a A4 site. So [2SIDE] suits my needs pretty well, except the problem with lefft/right. I thought there might be a trick … Regards Andreas Am 27.10.2010 um 23:09 schrieb Willi Egger:
