Hi list,
I am attempting to achieve, for every second chapter, to have only one
line of space between the chapter title and the text that follows.
I looked at the following example in the wiki:
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\setupbodyfont[8pt]
\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2%
{\vbox to 4cm\bgroup
{#1\hskip.75em #2}
\vss
\egroup}
\setuphead[chapter][header=nomarking, command=\MyChapterCommand]
\starttext
\chapter{test} \input tufte
\stoptext
and presumed that I could adjust that to something like 1cm instead of 4cm.
The problem is that when I try to process the original example, I get a
fatal error at the line which reads \chapter{test} \input tufte.
I'm not sure why that error, but that aside, would the
\def\MyChapterCommand approach suggested above be the right way to
achieve my purpose? In other words, I want the text that follows the
chapter title to follow immediately for specific chapters, rather than
the considerable vertical space that follows the default setup for
chapter titles.

Change
\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2%
to
\unexpanded\def\MyChapterCommand#1#2%
or
\define[2]\MyChapterCommand

Thanks Wolfgang. Clearly that fixes the problem. I also came up with
another solution which avoids the need to define a MyChapterCommand, by
first setting up the normal chapter as:
\setuphead
[chapter]
[header=empty,alternative=middle,style=bold,numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[2cm]},after={\blank[3cm]}]
and then setting up a mychapter as:
\definehead[mychapter][chapter]
\setuphead[mychapter][header=empty,alternative=middle,style=bold,numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[2cm]},after={\blank[.5cm]}]
That gives me the result I am after as well as maintaining the style of
the standard chapter head.

You can add a check for odd/even chapter numbers and use only a single
command.
\startsetups[chapter:after]
\ifodd\namedheadnumber{chapter}
\blank[4cm]
\else
\blank[1cm]
\fi
\stopsetups
\setuphead
[chapter]
[after=\directsetup{chapter:after}]
% \setuphead
% [title]
% [after={\blank[...]}]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}
{\chapter{Chapter #1}
\input knuth}
\stoptext
