hi,

i'm new to the list and also pretty new to ConTeXt (but I used LaTeX for 
a lot of years), but need a quite complicated
page setup right in the beginning:

i have a combination of two A5 pages and four A6 pages and i'd like to 
put them on one double
sided A4 paper sheet (please use monotyped font to see the scheme correctly)

+----------+----------+
|          |          |
|   A6     |          |
|          |          |
+----------+    A5    +
|          |          |
|   A6     |          |
|          |          |
+----------+----------+

the same for the back page.

in the end cutting the A4 sheet should let the A5 pages and A6 pages 
undestroyed :-)

i have tried combining

\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2, dx=0mm, dy=0mm]
\setuparranging[XY]

but didn't get a satisfying result because of different page sizes 
involved ...

any ideas?

cheers

artur

ps. here my starting point:

\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2, dx=0mm, dy=0mm]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[cut=true]

\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\starttext
Page 1. A5 Portrait \page
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 2. A5 Portrait \page
Page 3. A6 Portrait \page
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
Page 1. backside A5 Portrait \page
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 2. backside A5 Portrait \page
Page 3. backside A6 Portrait \page
\stoptext
