[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 468 bytes --]
At the moment I have I my document:
{\switchtobodyfont[1.25em]\bf M}ust
{\switchtobodyfont[1.25em]\bf S}hould
{\switchtobodyfont[1.25em]\bf C}ould
{\switchtobodyfont[1.25em]\bf N}ot now
But I like to have a macro for this, so I could just do:
\Acronym{Must Should Could Not~now}
Is more readable and when I want a change (for example another color for the
first letter), this is much easier to implement. How should I implement such
a macro?

Use recursion!
\definestartstop
[FancyFirstLetter]
[style={\switchtobodyfont[big]\bf},
color=red]
\def\FancyUppercase#1%
{\dostartFancyUppercase#1\dostopFancyUppercase}
\def\dostartFancyUppercase#1#2\dostopFancyUppercase
{\FancyFirstLetter{#1}#2}
\def\Acronym#1%
{\dostartAcronym#1 \dostopAcronym}
\def\dostartAcronym#1 #2\dostopAcronym
{\doifsomething{#1}
{\FancyUppercase{#1} %space
\dostartAcronym#2 \dostopAcronym}}
\starttext
\loggingall
\Acronym{Must Should Could Not~now}
\stoptext

Almost. dostartAcronym needs a blanco line to put the words under
each-other:
\def\dostartAcronym#1 #2\dostopAcronym
{\doifsomething{#1}
{\FancyUppercase{#1} %space
\dostartAcronym#2 \dostopAcronym}}

Better to use an explicit \blank (A blank space is equal to \par, and can
give funny results when you change indenting)

. \blank% addied this
