Sorry for interrupting the luatex discussion with a pedestrian question,
but my book is almost finished, and this will not be the last one:
In the following minimal example, the left column contains 5, the right
one 3 lines. I tried \column to get 4 + 4, but it didn't work
\starttext
\startcolumns[rule=on]
\starttabulate[|l|r|]
\NC one: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC two: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC three: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC four: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC five: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC six: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC seven: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC eight: \NC text \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
Thanks, Jörg

The columns features are broken for a long time now, esp. with stuff
like \startlines, \starttabulate etc.
Maybe you could try column sets. I resolved to tables for my lead
sheets (ugly code, like old HTML).

Hi,
if he has this problem only at one place and has no time he could
use TeX's halign primitive because this did still work.
It is also easy to write a simple wrapper around this this emulate
ConTeXt's table syntax.
\starttext
\startcolumns[rule=on]
\halign{\strut#\quad&\hfil#\cr
one: & text \cr
two: & text \cr
three: & text \cr
four: & text \cr
five: & text \cr
six: & text \cr
seven: & text \cr
eight: & text \cr}
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
Wolfgang

Balancing columns: Since the problem occurred twice only, I adopted
Wolfgangs solution. Thanks Hraban and Wolfgang!
Another problem:
Itemizations occur very often in my manuscript (typically
[packed,joinedup]). I would like page breaking to occur when the page is
full, regardless of the number of lines left over on the next page (or
the number of lines at the bottom of a page). At present, the gaps left
at the bottom of a page look ugly, especially when there is a footnote
with its line above.
\adaptlayout doesn't do anything
Is there a way to setup this behaviour (without affecting pagebreaking
outsitde itemizations)?
Thanks, Jörg

Normally yoou influence pagebreaking with \setuptolerance, or plain
TeX style with setting the appropriate penalties.
I don't know if it would work to set club and widow penalty to a very
low value inside of the itemization (setup "before" or the like). (Is
this setting always global or does it work locally?)
\setuptolerance [{horizontal, verytolerant},{vertical, verystrict}]
%\clubpenalty=8000 % no clubs / keine Schusterjungen
%\widowpenalty=8000 % no widows / keine Hurenkinder
%\tolerance=1750 % line breaking tolerance (ca. 500--3000)
%\emergencystretch=10 pt % additional stretching space per line
