I am writing a book with poems and need to maintain four, sometimes
five, lines together

split at the end of the
page. How would I implement this?
Using \testpage[n] works, only if I know in advance where the the split happens.
add this to your local cont-new.tex file (after \protect):
\def\startlines
{\@@rgbefore
\pushmacro\checkindentation
\whitespace
%\page[\v!preference]} gaat mis na koppen, nieuw: later \nobreak
\begingroup
\setupindenting[\@@rgindenting]%
\typesettinglinestrue
\setupwhitespace[\v!none]%
\obeylines
\ignorespaces
\gdef\afterfirstobeyedline % tzt two pass, net als opsomming
{\gdef\afterfirstobeyedline
{\nobreak
\doifnot\@@rgoption\v!packed{\global\let\afterfirstobeyedline\relax}}}%
\def\obeyedline
{\par
\futurelet\next\dobetweenthelines}%
\activatespacehandler\@@rgspace
\GotoPar}
\def\dobetweenthelines
{\doifmeaningelse\next\obeyedline
{\@@rginbetween}
{\afterfirstobeyedline}}
\setuplines
[\c!option=,
\c!before=\blank,
\c!after=\blank,
\c!inbetween=\blank,
\c!indenting=\v!no,
\c!space=\v!default]
-- -- -- --
test: (the packed option is new)
\setuplines[indenting={yes,medium,odd},option=packed] % no yes odd even
\starttext
