Almost there. But if I add \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided]
to the example, there is a blank page before the makeup page, and an unnumbered
blank page after. If I add doublesided=no to the
\setupmakeup options, the unnumbered blank page is not there, but there is
still a blank page before. It is seemingly forcing
a right-hand page for some reason I do not understand.
