Hi,
Here is a new dirty trick:
\starttext
% we make sure that we get two passes.
\setupalign[verytolerant]
% we enable some tracing
\tracinglousiness1
% \tracinglousiness2
this gives the breakpoints that tex considers as it progresses
\hsize8cm \lousiness 0 \samplefile{ward}
% let's see what their demerits are
{\tt \the\lousiness}
% and overload one of them (index 11)
\hsize8cm \silliness 11 \samplefile{ward}
% do how about overloading more (index 11 and 8)
\hsize8cm \lousiness 2 11 0 8 200 \samplefile{ward}
\stoptext
As the names suggest, it's a bit weird feature but so is \looseness. It
might evolve from playground into some interfaced feature. Of course
changing the text gives different results. But then, \looseness also
assumes a stable paragraph.
