Yes Pablo, that does fix it. I'm sorry, I misunderstood your first reply. Peter

I’ve rewritten my last email. The context below produces the pdf in the screenshot below.

I expect the layout[short] to be applied to pages 2 and 3. It is. But there seem to be 2 bugs:

1 - Pages 4, 5 and 6 have the [short] layout. They should have the default layout.

2 - On pages 5 and 6, the text flows beyond the bottom of the frame. It should stop at the bottom of the frame.

Hi Peter,

as in my reply from yesterday, this seems to fix your bugs:

\showframe \setuppapersize[A4][A3,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \setuplayout[backspace=80mm, width=100mm, topspace=50mm, header=0mm, footer=0mm, height=200mm, margindistance=10mm, leftmargin=40mm]

\definelayout[short][backspace=80mm, width=100mm, topspace=50mm, header=0mm, footer=0mm, height=80mm, margindistance=10mm, leftmargin=40mm]

\starttext \definelayout[even][reset] \definelayout[odd][reset] \definelayout[2][short] \definelayout[3][short] \dorecurse{10}{\input{knuth} } \stoptext

It seems that you need to reset the layout in all other pages (where the special layout isn’t applied).

I hope it helps,
