hi rudolf (& list),
thank you for your 'quick hack', it's ok for my current solution. page
number, margins and background and stuff like grid alignment are still a
problem ...
but, i suppose, there must be :-) a tiny piece of code in ConTeXt, where
the rotation of the whole page can be achieved (but still treating the
page as a landscape page for the above setup arranging layer)
maybe someone knows how to do it and can share his knowledge ... ?
cheers

hi all,
using
\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[cut=true]
\setuppapersize[A4]
\starttext
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 1. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
Page 2. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
Page 3. A5
\input knuth
\stoptext
i ALMOST get the wished layout. the only problem is, that the A5
page is in landscape mode.
is there a kind of quick hack to change the orientation of the A5
page to protrait, by leaving
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
as it stands (othewise the layout doesn't function)?

Hello Artur,
meanwhile I played a bit and got:
% ------------------------------------------------
\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[cut=true]
\setuppapersize[A4]
\starttext
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 1. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
Page 2. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
\rotate[rotation=90]
{
\vbox to 100mm
{
\hsize=80mm
Page 3. A5
\input knuth
}
}
\stoptext
% ------------------------------------------------
Ofcourse, the pagenumber remains, where it has been before.
Greetings,
Rudolf
