Thank you very much, that worked!
Can you explain how it works?
Does "before=" override the setting of "grid="? Is "before=" at a lower
level?
Yet "before=" must be at a high enough level that the grid-setting code
is able to adjust for it and still preserve the grid alignment...

Lars

Re: [NTG-context] Typesetting Classical Arabic Poetry

See the attached module and test file. The second problem is the way in which Arabic needs to be justified, namely not by adjusting the space between words, but instead by adjusting the connecting line between letters: قال أبو الطيب أحمد بن الحسين المتنبّي أنـا الـذي نـظر الأعمى إلـى أدبي وأسمعـت كـلماتــي مـن به صمم كم تـطلبون لـنا عيبًـا فــيعجزكم ويكره المجد ما تأتـون والكرم ما أبعـد العيب والنقصان عن شرفي أنا الثّريا وذان الشيب والهرم [...] I couldn't find any info on either of these two questions through the documentation or through Google (although I might have been looking for the wrong keywords).

Brilliant! Thanks a lot. A few things:
1) Can you replace
def useplainlabels =
let label= plain_label ;
let thelabel = plain_thelabel ;
enddef ;
with
def useplainlabels =
def label= plain_labelenddef ;
def thelabel = plain_thelabel enddef ;
enddef ;
The minimal example works with your version, but the old MetaPost
code does not. The def variant works fine with both.
2) Replace
startplaincompatibity → startplaincompatibility
stopplaincompatibity → stopplaincompatibility
3) This one is truly optional and just a suggestion for a better
interface. Although it's nice to have the grouping in
start-stopplaincompatibility, it's not required here, since the
entire MetaPost instance runs in plain compatibility mode. It would
be nice to either have a non-grouped command:
def plaincompatibility =
scantokens plain_compatibity_data ;
enddef ;
Or maybe even a higher-level switch:
\defineMPinstance
[fun-with-old-MP]
[metafun]
[compatibility=plain] %% default* | plain
