It seems that the behaviour of \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] has changed in the last couple of months. Jobs that once correctly produced an even count of pages now produce an odd count. In viewing a two-page spread in Acrobat, the first page is correctly a right-hand page, but the last page is a bogus one, also a right-hand page. The document should end on the left. I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2002.12.20 from the beta download page.

there has been some discussion about this unwanted 'extra page' and the automatism behind it; if you want an even number, you can force it: \setuppagenumbering[option=doublesided] \starttext \dorecurse{11}{test \page} \page[empty,odd] % or without empty if you want a page number \stoptext should this be an option to \setuppagenumbering?
