3SIDE imposition schema weirdness

3SIDE imposition schema weirdness

[Nicolas Girard]

Hi,
i'm a little bit puzzled by the results of the following test file,
using the 3SIDE imposition schema from Willi (
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition#Additional_schemas ).
The results consists in pages 1|2|3 on the recto of the sheet, and
pages 4|5|6 on the verso.

* Is it really the intended result ?
* If so, I don't understand how can \dosetuparrangement{3}{1}{6}{4}{2}
give 1|2|3 // 4|5|6 . What's the rationale ? Why no page 5 among the
arguments of \dosetuparrangement ?
* What if one wants to fold the resulting brochure ? How to adapt the
code (besides by try and error) for the resulting arrangement to be
3|6|1 // 2|4|5 ?

Thanks in advance,
cheers,
Nicolas

Yes. This schema is only for paper-saving; as I wrote in the wiki, I  
wanted to print 3 small planner pages on one A4 page.

Sorry, can't help you with the code.

Hi Wolfgang,
well, it seems quite interesting ! Would you allow me to put your code
in the Imposition page, or could you consider doing so ?

Nevertheless, I couldn't make your code work ; I get:

    Fatal error: catcode push/pop mismatch. Fix this!

    \wait=

Cheers,
Nicolas

The placement of the pages is defined \pusharrangedpageTHREESIDE, the  
values
above mean:

• number of columns: 3
• number of rows: 1
• total number of pages: 6 (ConTeXt collects 6 pages and arrange them  
before
   they are written to the pdf file but in Willi's code 3 had been  
enough)
• number of crop marks in x direction: 4 (columns + 1)
• number of crop mark in y direction: 2 (rows + 1)

The page order in a brochure is 5|6|1 and 2|3|4.

Do as you want.

> Nevertheless, I couldn't make your code work ; I get:

There was a \unprotect missing at the start of the code, I added it.
