The \setupinterlinspace accepts also numbers to choose a multiple of the
default distance or you pass a dimension where you set a fixed value for
the distance between the baselines.
%%%% begin example
\showgrid
\starttext
\samplefile{lorem}
\page
\start \setupinterlinespace[2]% 2 lines, also possible: 1.5, 3, ...
\samplefile{lorem}\par
\stop
\page
\start \setupinterlinespace[line=5.6ex]% also possible:
\setupinterlinespace[5.6ex]
\samplefile{lorem}\par
\stop
\stoptext
%%%% end example
Wolfgang
