Weird layout

Weird layout

[Maurí­cio CA]

Hi,

I don't know if this is an usual problem...

I'm printing a book on size A5. The person who is going to build
the book said he needs 0.5cm extra around all borders. I'm
printing 4 pages at each paper sheet (\setuparranging[2*4]).
However, printing will be done in A3; this means the resulting 2*4
(A5+border) should be centered in an A3 sheet. (Of course, this A3
sheet is going to be printed centered in a 2*4(A5+border) blank
sheet.

Is there a proper way to do that? My naive attempt was to format
my book as if it had a size a little bit more than A5 and just
\setuparranging to get the result, but this way it is difficult
to study the layout properly, I get no markings and other
problems.

Thanks a lot,
Maurício
