I have a question about \startcases .. \stopcases. I am trying to adjust the distance of the cases and the right brace, the left brace is empty, see example below. Is this possible ?
It is. You can do it in different ways, depending on what you like.
% Example \starttext \startformula *\startcases[left={\left.},right={\right\}}]* \NC (\lambda + \mu ) \cdot a = \lambda \cdot a + \mu \cdot a \NC \NR \NC \lambda ( a + b ) = \lambda \cdot a + \lambda \cdot b \NC \NR \stopcases \text{(distributieve eigenschappen)} \stopformula \stoptext
\starttext
The original one.
\startformula \startcases[left={\left.},right={\right\}}] \NC (\lambda + \mu ) \cdot a = \lambda \cdot a + \mu \cdot a \NC \NR \NC \lambda ( a + b ) = \lambda \cdot a + \lambda \cdot b \NC \NR \stopcases \text{(distributieve eigenschappen)} \stopformula
You can reduce the \quotation{width} of the cases,
\startformula \startcases[left={\left.},right={\right\}},numberdistance=0pt] \NC (\lambda + \mu ) \cdot a = \lambda \cdot a + \mu \cdot a \NC \NR \NC \lambda ( a + b ) = \lambda \cdot a + \lambda \cdot b \NC \NR \stopcases \text{(distributieve eigenschappen)} \stopformula
or use a matrix (only one column)
\startformula \startmatrix[left={\left.},right={\right\}}] \NC (\lambda + \mu ) \cdot a = \lambda \cdot a + \mu \cdot a \NR \NC \lambda ( a + b ) = \lambda \cdot a + \lambda \cdot b \NR \stopmatrix \text{(distributieve eigenschappen)} \stopformula
maybe a right aligned one
\startformula \startmatrix[left={\left.},right={\right\}},align=right] \NC (\lambda + \mu ) \cdot a = \lambda \cdot a + \mu \cdot a \NR \NC \lambda ( a + b ) = \lambda \cdot a + \lambda \cdot b \NR \stopmatrix \text{(distributieve eigenschappen)} \stopformula
and this is how I would do it
\definemathmatrix[aligned][n=2,align={right,left},distance=0pt]
\startformula \startaligned[left={\left.},right={\right\}}] \NC (\lambda + \mu ) \cdot a \NC{} = \lambda \cdot a + \mu \cdot a \NR \NC \lambda ( a + b ) \NC {}= \lambda \cdot a + \lambda \cdot b \NR \stopaligned \text{(distributieve eigenschappen)} \stopformula

I did not know the numberdistance existed, I would think it specifies the distance between the columns and the number of the equation. Anyways your solutions work like a charm. Many thanks for your help. Wim
