Hallo,

I'm new to ConTeXt and am crazy enough to start with something
nonstandard.

Of course I got stuck pretty fast. I started out with this:

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/DIN_lang_folder

and then found some info on crop marks here:

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/PaperSetup#Crop_marks

I tried different options (marked=on, market=colour, marked=color...,
something with \setuplayout[location={middle,middle}]...)

Some times the crop marks don't show at all, sometimes they are set off
a bit so they don't fit with the actual document.

I added the whole file as I really do not knwo (yet) how to reduce
things...

Thanks for any help
De Benny

%% This is a template for a Din lang Folder.
%% The folded page of such a flyer is shorter (97mm) than the other pages (100mm)

%% This measure shows how much shorter the folded page is.
\definemeasure
    [shortfold]
    [3mm]

%% The bleed measure is necessary if you have colored page backgrounds 
%% or images in the bleed.
%% Different print shops need different bleeds.
\definemeasure
    [bleed]
    [3mm]

%% This is the pagesize of the final PDF.
%% The bleed size is added two times to width and height.
\definepapersize
    [A4-flyer]
    [width=\dimexpr297mm+2\measured{bleed}\relax,
     height=\dimexpr210mm+2\measured{bleed}\relax]

%% The size of a normal page.
\definepapersize
    [flyer-page]
    [width=100mm,
     height=210mm]

%% The size of the folded page.
\definepapersize
    [flyer-page-small]
    [width=\dimexpr100mm-\measure{shortfold}\relax,
     height=210mm]

%% Imposition: With the following two commands we arrange the six pages
%% on the final PDF print sheet.

%% The flyerpages are imposed on the printed sheet.
\setuppapersize
    [flyer-page]
    [A4-flyer]

%% The pages are arranged as a tryptichon.
\setuparranging
    [TRYPTICHON]

%% Because of the shorter folded page and the bleed the pages has
%% to be shifted horizontally on the printed sheet.
%% The values are calculated here.
\definepageshift
    [flyer]
    [horizontal]
    [\dimexpr\measure{bleed}-\measured{shortfold}\relax,

     \dimexpr2\measured{shortfold}+\measured{bleed}\relax,
     \measure{bleed},
    \dimexpr\measure{bleed}-\measured{shortfold}\relax
    ]

%% The vertical pageshift is simple.
\definepageshift
    [flyer]
    [vertical]
    [\measure{bleed}]

\setuppageshift
    [paper]
    [flyer]

%% We define some measures to construct the page layout.
\definemeasure
    [small]
    [3mm]

\definemeasure
    [big]
    [\measure{small}*2]

%% Each page has a slightly different page layout.
%% The named layouts (1. bracket) inherit values from other layouts
%% which are assigned in the second bracket.
