That was the clue I needed - in particular the use of minus values,
which I had entirely overlooked. And since \vskip works, so, therefore,
does simple \blank with a minus value (and better style!), and for that
matter also \hskip to make micro horizontal adjustments. In the end, so
simple and another lesson learned - look to the simple rather than the
more complicated solutions first.
Thank you for the patient mentoring.

The following MWE produces a passable result for a half-title page,
but I need to reduce the vertical space between 'A JOURNEY' and 'from
the' so that the 'h' of the 'the' is just touching the baseline of
the 'R' in JOURNEY. At the moment there is some distance between them.
I thought I could do this with \setupinterlinespace[] (not
represented in the MWE because it did not work) but no matter what
dimensions I put in there, it makes no difference. Is there another
way I can make infinitesimal adjustments to distance between the two
lines in question?
You can try \offset[y=-3pt]{your text} or \vskip-3pt
Not good style, but could work.
