[NTG-context] a different, but not zero, blank at the top of a page

[mf]

Hello,

I need advice on blanks at the start of a page.

Usually a blank is ignored when it's at the top of a page.

You can force it with \blank[...,force], but its value is the same as in 
the remainder of the text.

So, if the blank over a heading is 2 lines, forcing it at the top of the 
page produces 2 empty lines (not exactly, because TeX uses a glue at the 
top for line alignment, if I remember well).

What I need is a non zero blank at the top, to align the following text 
to the grid.

A solution could be checking whether we are at the top of the page, and 
choose the blank amount accordingly.
How can I make such a test?

Massi

Found this solution:

\ifdim \pagetotal=0pt \blank[attop,force] \else \blank[normal] \fi
