Thanks for the tip. I assume adjusting the depth of all subscripts in the document would require a somewhat extensive knowledge of TeX font handling? (that is, ConTeXt doesn't provide macros for it, I should learn more TeX if I want to know how to do that?)

Hi,

How would I go about getting subscripts to stay at the same depth? An
example of the problem I'm having is:

\starttext
% Notice the b's are not aligned
$a_b' a_b$
\stoptext

I'm only just learning ConTeXt and TeX, so I'm not sure what I'd need to
change to fix this.

\starttext
$a_b' a_b^{}$
\stoptext

It's a feature of tex to treat single scripts differently.
