hi again,

a simplified setup with two A6 and one A5 page on one sheet of A4 paper 
(no back page in this case) would also be a great starting point ...

+----------+----------+
|          |          |
|   A6     |          |
|          |          |
+----------+    A5    +
|          |          |
|   A6     |          |
|          |          |
+----------+----------+



please also answer if it's not possible with ConTeXt at all, so i can 
start looking for other options as soon as possible.

any help is appreciated
