This is a real neat trick! It works very well. Scribus as an 
"imposition" program has already some great capabilities.

Peter's explanation could make it into the wiki, I guess.

I would only suggest that we use the title of this thread, as well as 
the word "imposition" which might not say many things to some people 
although being the word pros use everyday.

Just my 2 cents!
