Re: [NTG-context] adjusting vertical space
That was the clue I needed - in particular the use of minus values,
which I had entirely overlooked. And since \vskip works, so, therefore,
does simple \blank with a minus value (and better style!), and for that
matter also \hskip to make micro horizontal adjustments. In the end, so
simple and another lesson learned - look to the simple rather than the
more complicated solutions first.
Thank you for the patient mentoring.

You can try \offset[y=-3pt]{your text} or \vskip-3pt
Not good style, but could work.
