FWIW, https://sile-typesetter.org/what-is-sile/ points out:

> one of the things that TeX can’t do particularly well is typesetting on a grid. This is something that people typesetting bibles really need to have. There are various hacks to try to make it happen, but they’re all horrible. In SILE, you can alter the behaviour of the typesetter and write a very short add-on package to enable grid typesetting."

Alas, I don't know what that means. https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/latex-cookbook/97817843... appears to give a clue:

> For two-sided prints with very thin paper, matching base lines would look much better. Especially in two-column documents it may be desirable to have baselines of adjacent lines at exactly the same height.

but I don't have access to the full content.
