I worked out a solution - not quite what you are suggesting, but it works perfectly, and I can get ahead with the dictionary. 1st, I defined a paragraph based on subsubject. This enabled me to do away with the description I was using earlier and greatly simplifies each dictionary entry: \definehead[entry][subsubject] \setuphead [entry] [ number=no, textdistance=3pt, alternative=text, align=raggedright, style=\bf, before={\vskip 0.5\lineheight} ] 2nd, note the before={\vskip 0.5\lineheight}. A bit of a hack one has to admit, but it solves the problem of reducing the gap between each entry. All good. Julian On 13/6/21 5:48 pm, Hans Hagen wrote:

Assuming that the default space before and after a head (e.g. subsubject) is something like \blank[2*big], if there is a way I can change that default behaviour just for that particular head, then I can solve my problem. Is there such a possibility? \definehead[mysubject][subject]
and then set up mysubject differently
\startmysubject[title={....}] etc
