Hi,
Before trying further tweaks, could we first clarify which /systemic/
constraints are active here, and which /local/ ones apply to the
appendix block? In particular:
*
Is the document globally set to |doublesided=yes|?
*
Do the heads (e.g. |\setuphead[chapter]|) enforce |page=right|?
*
Are there any |openright|-style settings in the environment?
*
Does |\startappendices| implicitly alter page behaviour?
It seems likely that multiple constraints are being combined:
*
the |\setupsectionblock[appendix][page=…]|,
*
plus a head-level |page=right|,
*
possibly plus double-sided layout logic.
That might explain why |page=left| results in /two/ inserted pages:
ConTeXt satisfies one constraint, then re-adjusts for another.
So the real question may be: which pagination rule has priority here?

Hi, my book is nearly finished, but it has one page too much.
I could shorten one, but it doesn’t help, because the appendix insists
to start on a right page (after an empty left page).
This is my setup:
\setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=no,number=no]
\setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=right,number=yes,setups=headeryes]
\setupsectionblock[appendix][page=no,number=yes,setups=headeryes]
"setups=headeryes" just changes the header texts; I also tried without.
How can I force my appendices to start on a left page? (No, page=left
doesn’t help, it inserts another 2 pages.)
