ok, i figured it out
- when i split the code in mkii and mkiv i merged page-new.tex into
page-set without noticing that the balancing code was just experimental
and not even working currently
- so, the balancing code in page-set is just a hook
- in mkiv i had actually nilled the code so no error there
we can do some manual balancing, like:
\setupcolumnset [test-1] [balance=yes]
\setupcolumnset [test-2] [balance=yes]
\setupcolumnsetlines[test-1][1][1] [8]
\setupcolumnsetlines[test-1][1][2][10]
\startcolumnset [test-1] \dorecurse {1}{\input tufte \par} \stopcolumnset
\startcolumnset [test-2] \dorecurse {2}{\input ward \par} \stopcolumnset
