Hi again,
I played around a litte, and i'm coming nearer to the result i desire.
The example:

\showframe

\setuptolerance[horizontal, verytolerant]

\definewhitespacemethod[Test]{\ctxparskip 0pt plus4pt minus0pt}

\setupalign[line]
%\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\setuplayout[lines=41]

%\showgrid
\starttext


\startcolumns[n=2, align=yes, balance=yes]

\clubpenalty10000
\widowpenalty10000

\setupwhitespace[Test, flexible]

%\setuplayout[grid=tolerant]

\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}

\stopcolumns

\stoptext

is a big step in the right direction. Pages 1 & 2 are perfect now, but 
I wonder,
why on page 3 there is such a big space in the right column. (the space is
needed to adjust the columns, but they are not really exact adjusted??)
Are there any ideas for improvement?

Thanks,
Achim
