If you can get pages with different widths to work, please let me know!
Like I said, I posted the problematic code in the wiki. It would be
great to get this to work.
for controlled situations it's doable by setting the parshape
so, for novels you can use:
\startsetups [grid] [*default]
\nopenalties
\stopsetups
\setuppagenumbering
[alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout
[grid=yes]
\definelayout
[odd]
[width=10cm,
lines=40]
\definelayout
[even]
[width=8cm,
lines=40]
\setuplayout
[odd]
\setuptolerance
[verytolerant]
\showframe
\def\SetLineWidths
{\scratchtoks \emptytoks
\ifdim\pagegoal=\maxdimen
\scratchdimen\textheight
\ifodd\realpageno
\noflines\namedlayoutparameter{odd}{lines}%
\else
\noflines\namedlayoutparameter{even}{lines}%
\fi
\else
\scratchdimen\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal\relax
\advance\scratchdimen-\topskipgap
\getnoflines\scratchdimen
\fi
\ifdim\scratchdimen\lineheight
\page
\else
\scratchcounter\noflines\relax
\ifodd\realpageno
\doSetLineWidths{odd}{even}%
\else
\doSetLineWidths{even}{odd}%
\fi
\parshape \scratchcounter \the\scratchtoks \relax \ignorespaces
\fi}
\def\doSetLineWidths#1#2%
{\dorecurse\noflines
{\appendetoks 0cm \namedlayoutparameter{#1}{width} \to\scratchtoks}%
\dorecurse{2}
{\advance\scratchcounter\namedlayoutparameter{#2}{lines}\relax
\dorecurse{\namedlayoutparameter{#2}{lines}}
{\appendetoks 0cm \namedlayoutparameter{#2}{width} \to\scratchtoks}%
\advance\scratchcounter\namedlayoutparameter{#1}{lines}\relax
\dorecurse{\namedlayoutparameter{#1}{lines}}
{\appendetoks 0cm \namedlayoutparameter{#1}{width} \to\scratchtoks}}}
\dontcomplain
\EveryPar{\SetLineWidths}
\starttext
\dorecurse{25}{\dorecurse{4}{\input tufte }\par}
\stoptext
no guarantees, no kernel stuff either, maybe some fun module

[NTG-context] Re: Layout stuff
Hello out there,
I don't quite understand how to use the even/odd keywords in
setuplayout:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout[odd][width=5cm]
\setuplayout[even][width=10cm]
\starttext
\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth \endgraf \input tufte \endgraf}
\stoptext
has the same width on all pages.

I would wonder if it can be possible since changing paragraph width from
page to page is *very* complicated task in TeX.

You are right, but we all know Hans, he does some things that are
*very* complicated in TeX.
And I see that part of my question has been answered before. It is a
matter if \definelayout[odd], \definelayout[even] and alike. I was
confused because Hans mentioned in this thread:
\setuplayout[odd|even|pagenumber|yourownid]
Which I can't get to work here.

This should work. I have been been testing a lot of different possiblities with layout, and am writing a complete new doc to illustrate just these problems. If this code doesn't work, let me know; it means I have forgotten a line here or there. However, it is also true that you can't get TeX to change widths of paragraphs from one page to the next. (That is, as far as I know.) I posted this problem about a week ago, and no one has responded, leaving me to believe you can't to it in ConTeXt (or TeX). I posted the problem in the wiki section in the bugs page.

Hello Paul, And I see that part of my question has been answered before. It is a matter if \definelayout[odd], \definelayout[even] and alike. I was confused because Hans mentioned in this thread: \setuplayout[odd|even|pagenumber|yourownid] Which I can't get to work here. This should work. I have been been testing a lot of different \definelayout \neq \setuplayout? (I got it to work with your \definelayout example, but not with Hans' \setuplayout command) However, it is also true that you can't get TeX to change widths of paragraphs from one page to the next. There is, of course, \parshape. And I know that Hans does a lot of paragraph trickery (see for example coloumns).
