table and tabulate "negative" extra spacing

Hello, In \starttable and \starttabulate, one can add extra blank space between rows using \TB[...]. Is there some way to add "negative" spacing, that is to tighten or reduce the spacing between any two rows? Thanks, Alan

Just use negative space: \TB[-line] or \TB[-3cm] Aditya

Interesting, this (obvious) feature works in the MWE below, but is without effect in my real use case. I'll have to investigate... Alan \starttext \startplacetable \starttable [|c|c|] \NC 1 \VL first row \AR \TB[-1cm] \NC 2 \VL second row \AR \stoptable \stopplacetable \blank [5cm] \startplacetable \starttabulate [|c|c|] \NC 1 \VL first row \NC\NR \TB[-1cm] \NC 2 \VL second row \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopplacetable \stoptext
