That's because, as I read in lines 397ff. in
trunk/tex/gregoriotex-spaces.tex, that /grespacelinestext is
automatically multiplied by /grefactor.
For fine-tuning I'd rather copy in the default value from gsp-defaults
and change it in its native unit rather than assuming a new measurement
because one never knows for certain what secondary or tertiary steps
gregoriotex takes to scale those values in accordance to /grefactor or
whatever else.
