Now I would like to adjust the height of each row. But I manage to get the desired result only with a seventh fake column. Consider this example with and without the mode "seven": %\enablemode[seven] \starttext \setupTABLE[r][2,3,4,5,6,7][height=6ex] \bTABLE[width=0.125\textwidth] \bTR \bTH 1. col\eTH \bTH 2. col\eTH \bTH 3. col\eTH \bTH 4. col\eTH \bTH 5. col\eTH \bTH 6. col\eTH \doifmode{seven}{\bTH 7. col\eTH} \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=6]6 rows in 1. col\eTD \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 2. col\eTD \bTD[nr=6]6 rows in 3. col\eTD \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 4. col\eTD \bTD 1 row in 5. col\eTD \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 6. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=2] 2 rows in 5. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 2. col\eTD \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 4. col\eTD \bTD[nr=4]4 rows in 6. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=2] 2 rows in 5. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 2. col\eTD \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 4. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \bTR \bTD 1 row in 5. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Any hints, you to adjust the heights without fake column?
