Hi,
using "small" and "medium" rather than "8pt" or "10pt" gives some
vertical "stretch".
Very useful in some situations:
\setupinterlinespace[small]
\setupwhitespace[medium]
But what to do if "small" is still too big?
And yet the "stretch" is needed?
While I can say ... \blank[.75*medium] ... this operation is not
allowed for the two above. So, what to do?

like this (?) ...
\defineblank[smaller][8pt plus 1pt minus 1pt]
... and then ...
\setupinterlinespace[smaller]
... provides a similar "stretch" effect as its bigger brother
\setupinterlinespace[small] ?

back on my tex-machine today I've tried the above and ended up in ...

l.36 \setupinterlinespace[smaller]
?
I also tried ...
\def\smaller{\blank[.75*small]}
... which has exactly the same result / error-log.
Is there another way to "define a new blank"?

Blank? I am not sure whether I could make the problem clear:
What I need is a kind of \setupinterlinespace[.75*small].
But this syntax gives an error.
So the question is: What is the right syntax to make
"\setupinterlinespace[small]" smaller *and* keep the stretch?
