here is an example of mine

\startsetups table:width
  \setupTABLE[align={hyphenated,normal}]
  \setupTABLE[column][1][width=0.3\textwidth]
  \setupTABLE[column][2][width=0.4\textwidth]
  \setupTABLE[column][3][width=0.3\textwidth]
\stopsetups
% table des patients
\startsetups table:style
\setupTABLE[frame=off]
\setupTABLE[r][1][style=\ss]
\setupTABLE[r][2][style=\tfa\bf]
\setupTABLE[r][3][style=\ss]
\setupTABLE[c][3][align=left]
\setupTABLE[c][2][align=center]
\setupTABLE[r][4][style=\bf] % how to override the \tt in the second column?
\stopsetups
%protocole du stress
\startsetups table:protocole
\setupTABLE[frame=off,option=stretch]
      \setupTABLE[row][odd][background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgreen]
      \setupTABLE[row][1][style={\ss\bf}, background=color,
                             backgroundcolor=cyan, foregroundcolor=white]
      \setupTABLE[column][1][style={\ssx\bf}]
      \setupTABLE[column][5][align=right]
      \setupTABLE[column][3][align=center]

\stopsetups
