Still I would like you to know, that there is nothing wrong with what you see in your examples. Keep in mind, that 2UP and 2 DOWN are intended for booklet printing. Try to use % \setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4,portrait] % \setuparranging[2DOWN] \setuppapersize[A5,portrait][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=singlesided] % \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input tufte\blank[1cm]} \page \dorecurse{3}{\input tufte\blank[1cm]} \stoptext I suggest to specify in the setuppapersize command the page orientation on the paper orientation. Then you won't need to rotate to page in the setuparranging command. Specify the singlesided and doublesided mode with setuppagenumbering. Of course the doublesided alternative is not suitable for 2Down, because you get left and right pages above each other. In order to see that the procedure works just fine use more pages e.g. with the dorecurse command.
