Hi there, speaking code: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext {This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}.} \blank Perfectly I good disable gridsetting for a complete paragraph. I can do so by “placeongrid”. But then another problem arises; if the paragraph is (without placeongrid) half at the end of a page, and half at the beginning of the next page, than WITH placeongrid the page-break of the paragraph is impossible, so the complete paragraph is set on the next page – resulting in many blank lines on the first page, at the buttom, of course. I tried to disable gridsetting for one paragraph only by “setuplayout” (“off”, and after the paragraph “on” again), but that does not work, too, see here:\blank {\setuplayout[grid=no] This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}. \setuplayout[grid=yes]} \blank So no effect again. My last try was to change “setupinterlinespace” before the paragraph, and change it back to default after the paragraph, but that does not work, too:\blank {\setupinterlinespace[line=4ex] This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}. \setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex] } \blank But that does not work, too. How to make this work, disabling grid-set for a paragraph? Perfectly like “placeongrid”, but with the possibility to break it into to pages:\blank \placeongrid[top]{ This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}.} \blank The problem comes here from setting arabic words into the german text, for arabic I have to use a bigger font, and so the problem simulated here arises.
