It means I need to translate my doubleside document for booklets of 5 papers. I'm using the 2UP parameter in arranging but it just makes the book of one booklet. How do I split it?

There are already quite a number of page imposition schemes. - Is there a specific reason to make sections of 20 pages? - In general one would prefere to make sections of 16 or 32 pages. The latter impositions schemes are already in place. When I developped some of them, I was advised to put such new definitions in the file cont-new.tex, because this file is always loaded.

The \setuparranging[2*2*4] looks intuitively -- like something I could try before disturbing this list. However your sample file (and my document as well) gives me a bad result -- 1 page per side instead of 2. I am using ConTeXt 2.6. Don't you know where the problem could be? Thank you.

RTM: mtexexec.pdf I didn't try if you can use --pdfselect and --pdfarrange at the same time. If not, you must first extract the pages for every folding sheet and afterwards arrange (impose) it.
