Hi Wolfgang,

I tried your code. Indeed there is no blank page after the "Schmutztitel".

But a blank page before!

So you need to add to the \startstandardmakeup[page=yes]. -

No that doesn't help. And it shouldn't be necessary. Right?

Something fuzzy is at hand with grid=yes. If you comment this line then the output is as expected.

I know. I wrote that. I found 3 positions which, commenting this lines, correct the problem. But I don't understand WHY this helps and why the example doesn't works.

Hallo!

I am trying to use 'standardmakeup' to produce 'Schmutztitel'-page with a following blank page. I think this is what \start\stopstandardmakeup is for (in doublesided environments).

But the example bellow has first a blank page and then 'Schmutztitel'.

There is a fourth blank page too.

------------------------- \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout [ footer=.04\paperheight, %1 grid=yes, %2 marking=on, location=middle, width=middle, height=middle] \starttext \startfrontmatter %3 \startstandardmakeup Schmutztitel \stopstandardmakeup \stopfrontmatter %3 bla \stoptext -------------------------

My experiments:

- a space-char between 'doublesided' and ']' removes the last blank page (strange).

- uncommenting the lines in position 1,2,3 exclusivly results in

correct behaviour.

I would like to understand what the problem is and why, for example, uncommenting frontmatter solves the problem.

I thought frontmatter is the place to do title-things and so.

Gr??e, Wolfgang
