Many thanks for your reply, Willy.
Your code works fine, but I would like two improvements to make the
process fully automatic. So I could use it with different documents in
an easier way.
Is there a way that ConTeXt gets the total number of pages from the PDF
file itself?
I can redefine \Myfilename with an \env argument, but I don’t know how
to get thet total number of pages.

This is a booklet that I made available on the net. I don’t try to
compete with the bookbinding industry ;-).
The booklet is rather thick, but the trick is not to cut the outer
margin. It is a booklet and not a book, after all.
But I would say that the result is not bad.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
