Thank you Rik, I overlooked that (and now I'm reading Hans' reply about
line correction being for framed material and not for quotations).

I need to decide whether to 
- turn off grid snapping and adjust every single quotation 
or
- turn grid snapping on, benefit from line correction most of the time
and manually adjust the cases where a quotation is across a page
boundary

It depends on the texts I'm working on.

This question reminds me the chapter about line profiling in the
"Still" manual. There's no general, fully automated solution.

Hans talked about that at the last ConTeXt Meeting. If I understand
well, it's very hard to calculate how much of the vertical space of the
page TeX has used. And once it flushes the page, it frees the memory
and forgets about it.
Add inserts like footnotes to the problem and it gets really hard.

Best regards,
Massi
