Re: [NTG-context] Does a "half-space" or small space exist in ConTeXt?

You can use \thinspace or \, which is the short form of \thinspace.

But \thinspace aka \, is a non-breaking space, isn’t it? Is there a way to let it break a line if needed in certain circumstances or is there something else like a “non-non-breaking thinspace”? Greetings Jörg On 08.03.2015 12:35, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Hi all,

I would like to use something like a "half-space" or small space in a situation where neither no space, nor a normal space is ideal. See the ME: --------------------------------- \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Verdana] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \starttext On the third beat a 6th between bass and tenor, {\em \lohi{B}{g}}, moves to the octave {\em \lohi{A}{a} . \medskip On the third beat a 6th between bass and tenor, {\em \lohi{B}{g}} , moves to the octave {\em \lohi{A}{a}} . \stoptext --------------------------------

Without a space after {\em \lohi{B}{g}}, the normal situation, the comma is too close to the B, (and the period too close to the A), suggesting some superscript. A normal space does not look nice (but if necessary I could live with it)

Is there an intermediate size for a space somehow?

You can use \thinspace or \, which is the short form of \thinspace.

BTW. The context version of \medskip is \blank[medium].
