I'm sorry but I cannot get it to work.

%%% my local lucida-opentype-math.lfg, located in the same directory
as the tex file (and loaded)
----- kern_250 = { bottomright = { { kern = -250 } }, force = true }

local function FixRadicalDisplayStyleVerticalGap(value,target,original)
    local o = original.mathparameters.RadicalVerticalGap -- 50
    return 2 * o * target.parameters.factor
end

return {
    name = "lucida-opentype-math",
    version = "1.00",
    comment = "Goodies that complement lucida opentype.",
    author = "Hans Hagen",
    copyright = "ConTeXt development team",
    mathematics = {
        parameters = {
            RadicalDisplayStyleVerticalGap = FixRadicalDisplayStyleVerticalGap,
        },
        kernpairs = {
           [0x1D44E] = {[0x1D44F] = 1000,}, -- 𝑎𝑏 demo
           [0xFE932] = {[0x0028] = 1000,} -- remapped prime and (
        },
}
}
%%%

%%% the tex file
\setupbodyfont[lucidaot]
\setupmathematics[kernpairs=yes]

\starttext
$f'(x)ab$
\stoptext
%%%

The result is attached. It works ok for the pair ab, but not for prime
and (. Is the ( also remapped (while greping for it in the source, I
could not find any clue).

Maybe it is better to ping the maintainers of the font?
