Hi all,
I’m just forwarding this to the ml as I can’t help any further
and I’d like to know the answer too.
@Achim: have you tried locally chopping off a line from the text
area with “\[start|stop]columns”? Something like this:
··8<·····························································
\newdimen\Reducedtextheight
\let\Reducedtextheight\makeupheight
\advance\Reducedtextheight-\baselineskip
\setuplayout[height=\Reducedtextheight]
··8<·····························································
Not a clean solution, but it might still get you what you want.
Philipp

Hi Philipp,
thank you for your reply.

that takes me a bit further. But columnsets seem to have one great
disadvantage
regarding my project (as far as i could figure out): you have to manually
balance the columns. Thats not practical within a 1200-pages book with
a lot of
balanced breaks.
Another problem (but that may result of my missing knowledge): I could not get
the columns to fill the page (now the contrary problem than before).
I've tried
setupalign[line] before as well as inside the columnset without any effort.
Example below.
Looking into spac-ver.mkiv did not really enlighten me (but i sure
have to take
a deeper look).
Thanks again,
Achim
\showframe
\definecolumnset[two][n=2]
\newskip\Hugeskip
\Hugeskip = 1em plus 4em minus 4em %that should be enough stretchability
\definevspacingamount[Huge][\Hugeskip][\Hugeskip] % for \blank
\definewhitespacemethod[Notsohuge]{\ctxparskip.5\Hugeskip} % for
\setupwhitespace
\setupalign[line] %does not work
\starttext
\startcolumnset[two]
\setupalign[line] %does not work also
%\setupwhitespace[Notsohuge, flexible] no effect
\setupwhitespace[Notsohuge]
%\setupwhitespace[flexible] no effect
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
