Hi together,

this is not really a practical request, but an interesting (I think) idea...

ConTeXt can do simple imposition (arranging pages on sheets, see 
\setuparranging), but in professional imposition you need to compensate for the 
paper thickness in folds to keep pages readable - you can move the outer pages 
of a fold out of the gutter (spine), or move the inner pages to the spine. 
(This is called creep in English, Bundversatz in German.) That means, your 
outer margin will have different width, depending on the position of the page 
in its fold.

See e.g. https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/printing-booklets.html

A guy on the LilyPond mailing list had the interesting idea to adapt the line 
width to this creep, to keep an even outer margin - it would mean that TeX 
needs to know about imposition while breaking lines.

What do you think?
