Dear list,

I hope it is OK that I answer an old thread. I have tried out grids
and columns, and settled for the mixed columns. I finally found out
that

\setupformulas[
grid=min,
]

seems to be the trick to get displayed formulas in good place when
there is a grid, and to get back on the grid correctly afterwards. I
just thought someone else might have use of this. I attach an example.
I am aware of that some formulas won't show up perfectly fine, but
then one could just define a specific formula environment for those.

Cheers, Mikael
