Re: more folds to bind a book

Hi Willi,
thank you very much for your help! 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. I really appreciate your help.
