The example given above consists of two formulas, and the new broken formula type simply does not fit. You can play with more than one \alignhere, but they will only set new align points.

Hi Jan-Erik,
One way I came across searching the mailing list is the following:
\starttext
\startitemize [a,columns,joinedup] [n=3,grid=line]
\item $ 56 + 2 \cdot 3 $
\item $ 5-(7) $
\item $ \frac{21}{7} $
\stopitemize
\stoptext
Could be that there is a *better* way.

OK. Though I know it, it is hard to get used to, coming from LaTeX.
But the spacing is wrong: too much between the two components. These are not
cases, but aligned formulas: one might have a number of alignments, not just
one. And I just happen to use left braces on them.
Take a look at my previous example where I changed the distance between both
columns with the distance key.
I missed that. It fixes the spaces within the formula, but adds space between
the two sets relative both TeX and AMS-LaTeX (which has about the same as TeX),
cf. example below.
In AMS-LaTeX one can have more than one alignment, though when trying it
between the “-“ and the “ω” in the second (right-most) set, it adds a lot of
space, rather than just trying to align a compactly as possible. In ConTeXt,
nothing happens with extra alignments; in TeX, there is an error.
So using \startmathcases is a workaround: trying to force it to do something it
wasn’t intended for.

For matrix, the current definition works hard so that you cannot change vertical distance. For simultaneous equations, you need a math strucutre which ConTeXt does not provide. From what I understand amsmath hasthere are three kinds of math strucures 1. Outer display structures (equation, align, gather, and multline) 2. Inner display structures (aligned, gathered, and multlined (provided by mathtools package)) 3. Inner inline structures (matrix, cases, etc). The first two display structures have \displaystyle set and have loose spacing. The last inline structure has no \displaystyle set and has tight spacing. So, what you need for simultaneous equations is something from class 2 with the ability to put a brace on the left (empheq package in latex allows you to do this with aligned, etc). Currently, ConTeXt does not provide anything of class 2. It is easy to provide it (one just needs to copy the definitions of mathalign but not set the width of hbox to be textwidth), but everytime I start working on it I get distracted by the bigger problem---ConTeXt is not as good as it can be for outer display.

The {} after the alignment \NC is useful if the next symbol is something
that can be a uniary or binary symbol (eg, + or -). The {} tells tex to
treat is as a binary symbol.
If you frequently need something like this, you can use
definemathcases/definemathmatrix to define a new environment with
appropriate parameters.

Both work just fine, but with distance=0pt instead. Thanks! There is
only a minor problem with the former one: it's somehow shifted to the
left compared with the latter (both in MkII and MkIV). I have no idea
why.
The {} after the alignment \NC is useful if the next symbol is something
that can be a uniary or binary symbol (eg, + or -). The {} tells tex to
treat is as a binary symbol.
Of course - the {} is an ord atom for TeX, AFAIR.
If you frequently need something like this, you can use
definemathcases/definemathmatrix to define a new environment with
appropriate parameters.
Yes; however, I'd still have to use the {} after the \NC...

Both work just fine, but with distance=0pt instead. Thanks! There is
only a minor problem with the former one: it's somehow shifted to the
left compared with the latter (both in MkII and MkIV). I have no idea
why.
mathcases has a numberdistance key, which adds some width at the end of
each row. You can set numberdistance to zero.
The {} after the alignment \NC is useful if the next symbol is something
that can be a uniary or binary symbol (eg, + or -). The {} tells tex to
treat is as a binary symbol.
Of course - the {} is an ord atom for TeX, AFAIR.
If you frequently need something like this, you can use
definemathcases/definemathmatrix to define a new environment with
appropriate parameters.
Yes; however, I'd still have to use the {} after the \NC...
Yes. You can define something like \OC (ord column) to be \NC{}.
