Oh, I had not. It looks better with collapsing=1,
indeed. A few neq questions comes to me:
Does
ConTeXt not use the same prime character as in TeX/LaTeX? Or has
something changed in latin modern? See the attached pdf files
(derivatives.pdf from ConTeXt and primetime-crop.pdf from lualatex). The
prime character looks more slanted in ConTeXt. It also almost looks
like it is cut horizontally at the bottom of the character. Also, the
space between the two x in the subscript looks a bit large to me. Is
that easily tuned?
