Hi Willi, thank you very much for your help! The \setuparranging[2*2*4] looks intuitively -- like something I could try before disturbing this list. However your sample file (and my document as well) gives me a bad result -- 1 page per side instead of 2. I am using ConTeXt 2.6. Don't you know where the problem could be? Thank you. I really appreciate your help.
