Suppress blank page in asymmetrical multicolumn layout

Suppress blank page in asymmetrical multicolumn layout

[Thangalin]

Hi there,

How do I suppress the blank page in the following document while
maintaining the asymmetrical multicolumn layout? The problem centres
around "page=yes," whereby removing it eliminates the blank page, but
then wreaks havoc on the document layout.

\definepapersize[BookPaperSize][width=24in, height=12in,]
\setuppapersize[BookPaperSize]

\definelayout[BookTextLayout][
  topspace=.5in,
  backspace=.5in,
  header=\zeropoint,
  footer=\zeropoint,
  grid=yes,
]
\setuplayout[BookTextLayout]

\definecolumnset[BookColumns][n=4,distance=.25in]
\setupcolumnset[BookColumns:1][width=11.75in]
\setupcolumnset[BookColumns:2][width=3.46in]
\setupcolumnset[BookColumns:3][width=3.46in]
\setupcolumnset[BookColumns:4][width=3.46in]

\setuphead[section][
  page=yes,
  beforesection={\startcolumnset[BookColumns]},
  aftersection={\stopcolumnset},
]

\setuphead[subsection][
  after={\column},
]

\setuphead[subsubsection][
  after={\blank[small]},
]

\starttext
\startsection[title={Section Title}]
\startsubsection[title={Subtitle}]
\dorecurse{2}{\input knuth}

\dorecurse{2}{%
  \startsubsubsection[title={Subsubtitle}]
    \dorecurse{1}{\input ward}
    \dorecurse{2}{\input lorem}
    \dorecurse{1}{\input bryson}
  \stopsubsubsection
}

\stopsubsection
\stopsection
\stoptext

Thank you!

Add "page=yes" to start each new columnset environment with a page break.

\definecolumnset [BookColumns] [n=4,distance=.25in,page=yes]

Remove the page break at the begin of each section because the break
happens after you start the columnset environment. The value of the
beforesection key is inserted before the values from other keys are used.

page=,
