PTXprint won't let me specify a reasonable \b line-spacing value

PTXprint won't let me specify a reasonable \b line-spacing value. Sure the default, preferred method of formatting printed documents is to try and keep lines on a grid.

But sometimes it just would be nice to do something like make \b = 1/2 line space, so that OT quoted verses can have a \b above and below. And the 1/2 + 1/2 line spacing from the 2 \b's brings the rest of the text back onto the grid.

Something in PTXprint is not allowing this. Can this "policing" be overridden?

The provided definition of \b in ptx-stylesheet.tex is to produce a gap equal to its linespacing. There have been, at various times in history, other definitions in snippets. Including, I see, one in snippets.py's definition of 'unusedstuff' which defines it as a rigid 10pt. I wonder if you might have some definition in a custom ptxprint-mods.tex that overrides the default value, or if there is a customised value in the 'ignore the User-interface, I know what I'm doing' style sheet overrides file, ptxprint-mods.sty

Sorry, I should have checked before writing from my phone. A typo meant the code was getting the previous marker's baseline, not its own.
