Hi,

I have a A5 document (as PDF file) which should be nx=2,ny=1 placed on a
landscape A4 paper.
The problem is that I want to have more whitespace on the left side for
stapleing/punching which can easiest be done by letting the included
pages overlap. I tried distance=-4cm but it didn't work as expected.

Desired result:

+---+-------------+------------+
|   |  first a5 . | second a5  |
|   |           . |            |
|   |           . |            |
|   |           . |            |
+---+-------------+------------+
 |              ^^^ - included pages overlap
 | extra wide margin

I tried:
  \setuppapersize[a5,landscape][a4,landscape]
  \combinepages[main.pdf][nx=2,ny=1,frame=on,distance=-4cm]
