I am trying to typeset 2 A5 pages onto 1 A4 page in landscape format, side by side. Thus typesetting the pages two at a time on one piece of paper, in their natural order, seeing them as a spread.
Something like
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x x x
x 1 x 2 x going on for 3, 4, etc.
x x x
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


I do not seem to get that job done. The context code I tried:
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\setuplayout[location=doublesided,marking=on,grid=yes,header=0mm,margin= 12mm]
\setuppagenumbering[location=footer,location=margin,alternative=doublesi ded]
\setuparranging[2*1] % or [doublesided] or [mirrored]


The \setuparranging (in the above variations) sends TeX into an infinite loop.
Of course [2*2] will not work, it gives booklets of 4 pages instead of 2.
Maybe it can be done without the \setuparranging, but I could not find out how.


The context version I use is: ConTeXt ver: 2003.12.12 fmt: 2003.12.13 int: english mes: english

I would appreciate some help very much.
