Hi,
I try to typeset a nested align in a formula. However, the results looks
really wrong. Here is a MWE:
```
\starttext
\startformula
  \startalign
      \NC a = \NC (b, c) \quad \text{with}\NR
      \NC   \NC \startalign
                  \NC b \NC = something \NR
                  \NC c \NC = someother \NR
                \stopalign \NR
      \NC somelong = \NC bla \NR
  \stopalign
\stopformula
\stoptext
```
Am I doing something wrong or are nested aligns not possible?
it will work if you configure the inner align to be tight (i delegate

might be okay for your purpose
Thanks, but unfortunately not. I guess, I simplified the MWE too much.
This does not align the b and c. It should become clear here:

```
\startformula
a               = \alignhere (b, thisislonger) \quad \text{with}
                   \breakhere b = \text{something}
                   \breakhere thisislonger = \text{someother}
                   \breakhere
\text{somelong} = \alignhere bla
\stopformula
```
