Arranging A5s...

Arranging A5s...

[Joop Susan]

Hello,

I can't seem to figure out how to put two A5 pages onto one A4 page in 
NORMAL order (not booklet order!). My output format is PDF.

For printing I use booklet ordering (I've got that sorted), but I would 
like to see the pages side-by-side as they will appear in a printed and 
folded booklet, in order to judge the layout of the combination of the 
left and right pages. This is only for viewing on screen.

Which combination of \setuplayout and \setuparranging would achieve this? 
(Preferably so that the A4 is in landscape mode in de viewer.) It is not 
2UP and not 2*2. Am I looking for a sort of 2*1?

Joop

\setuplayout[width=middle,height=middle]
\setuppapersize[A5][landscape,A4]
\setuparranging[2SIDE]
