Hi,

I try getting a 6-sided letterfold with unequal page size to work.
This is how it's supposed to look like:

This is easy with the arranging option TRYPTICHON. *But* the page
sizes are not equal and manually adjusting them shifts them not the
way they're supposed to. Page 4 and 5 need to be a bit less wide to
be able to fold neatly.

  Page width 1,2,3,6: 10cm
  Page width 4,5:      9.7cm

How to adapt for the changed page size without an overlapping page 4
and a page with clearance to the adjacent 6th page? Suggestions
welcome!

Here the example you've all been waiting for:
