Hi Massi,
Why don't you try this kind of parallel paragraphs ?
% \setuppapersize[A5]
\defineparagraphs[TwoThird][n=2]
% The second paragraph width is automatically calculated, if not specified.
\setupparagraphs[TwoThird][1][width=.66\textwidth]
\starttext
\startTwoThird
quotation{...{\it pourquoi y a-t-il quelque chose plutôt que rien ?}
Parce que rien n’est plus simple et facile que quelque chose.
Plus loin, sachant que les choses existent,
on doit être en mesure d’expliquer
{\it pourquoi elles existent ainsi,}
et pas autrement.}

\stopTwoThird
\stoptext
Another solution is :
\defineparagraphs[TwoColumns][n=2,align=verytolerant]
\startsetups[TwoColumns]
\setupinterlinespace[line=5ex]
\stopsetups
\setupparagraphs[TwoColumns:2][inner=\directsetup{TwoColumns}]
\starttext
\input tufte
% here start the twocolumns
\startTwoColumns
\startlines

Which feature from verbatim annotations do you need because style and color changes can be applied in normal text without problems.
Wolfgang
Thanks for the answer, Wolfgang. That's not style and color, it's a sort of two-column layout with the main text in the left column and annotations (comments) in the right one. Example (it does not work): \starttext This is the main text\sidenote{annotation} flowing in the left column... \stoptext resulting in |This is the main text flowing | annotation | |in the left column... | | You can do it with setuplayout and a wider right margin, using \inright for annotations, but it's for the whole document or a whole page. Is that possibile only for a section of text inside a page?
