Greetings,

The attached MWE combines 12 images in  a 3 by 4 grid; with horizontal and vertical spacing set by setupcombinations.

I have two questions. First, can someone please tell me why the vertical spacing is not applied between the first and second and third and fourth rows? Second, why, If I try, e.g.c 15 images, does  ConTeXt complain of a missing left brace. More generally, my mwe failed with an odd number of images, but succeeded with an even number.

In a combination each entry takes two parts   1. The content of the cell and   2. the caption for the cell (unless you enable auto numbering) but you're omitting the caption for all of them. While I say you omit the caption this isn't the actual truth because the \startcontent and \startcaption commands are just named alternatives for the braces which means every second figure in your example is used as caption for the previous image. To fix your example add   context.startcaption()   context.stopcaption() after the content for each combination cell. Wolfgang
