Dear List, I am using LMTX 2021.08.30 19:56. I have the following example – \starttext \showlayout \input knuth \stoptext which yields an output (attached here) with a "asymmetric" layout. Am I doing something wrong? Or have I missed something? Please advise. Thanks, kauśika

this is indeed the default, originating in initial usage decades ago: singlesided stapled prints and a wide outer margin for making notes
you can do
\setuplayout[width=middle,height=middle]
as well as
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
and more like that
