 \setupinterlinespace[small] ?


back on my tex-machine today I've tried the above and ended up in ...

?


I also tried ...

\def\smaller{\blank[.75*small]}

... which has exactly the same result / error-log.


Is there another way to define a new blank?

Blank? I am not sure whether I could make the problem clear:

What I need is a kind of \setupinterlinespace[.75*small].

But this syntax gives an error.


So the question is: What is the right syntax to make  
\setupinterlinespace[small] smaller *and* keep the stretch?
