Willi,

following the advice from Hans, I’m asking whether you would be
interested in extending \setuparranging.

As already explained in previous messages, I think it would be useful to
have \setuparranging[2*4*2] for any given number of pages. Having 16
pages to impose isn’t always an option.

I read page-imp.mkiv again and I have no idea about how to achieve this.
(I found three typos that I attach to this message.)

Could you extend \setuparranging[2*4*2] to accept any given number of pages?

Many thanks in advance,


Pablo
