[NTG-context] 2DOWN imposition gives blank pages

[Willi Egger]

Hi Sanjoy,

There is no halucination involved. In your code you try to typeset two 
A5 portrait beneeth each other on a A4 landscape, which is impossible. 
Try A3 landscape and you will
see. - When experimenting with short texts as tufte I usually use 
\showframe.

By the way if you want to typeset A5 on a A4 landscape without intending 
to make a booklet, then you can use setuparranging[2SIDE]

Kind regards

Willi
