help with \flushsubcolumnsets[spread]

Dear list, first of all, sorry for not providing a MWE, but it is really hard in this case. To enjoy the new added abilities for parallel texts in ConTeXt, I’m making a six-language version of an ancient Greek text. Columns setup (using landscape A4), so there are two pages: \definecolumnset [parallel] [n=3, align={lesswidows,lessclubs,lessbroken,lessorphans}, ] All works fine, but I have a single passage that has problems. It’s a chapter with title and two lines of text (in original Greek) and title and three/four lines of translation. Chapter setup reads (for the relevant parts): \setuphead[chapter] [before={\blank[none, preference]\testcolumn[5]}, after={\blank[none, samepage]}] Well, the problem is that only the Greek text appears at the end of the first page (no translation is shown at the end of the first or second page), and all translations appear at the beginning of the third and fourth page (no Greek text at the beginning of the third page). How can I make that ConTeXt prioritizes leaving one (or two) orphan line(s), but flushes that Greek text and the five translations? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

I realized that maybe attaching an image may be worth thousands of words. Pablo
