@CGFoX I remember \linespread is for the entire document.

Can I use linespread just for two lines but not as default for the entire document?

In my case, \linespread worked for some elements, but to change spacing in the document body I had to use \linespacing.

Also, as explained in tex.stackexchange.com/a/30114/7262, setspace package adjusts the factors correctly for 10pt/11pt/12pt documents, which would be messier and easy forget if you use \linespread directly.

According to this: tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=linespace "setspace switches off double-spacing at places where even the most die-hard official would doubt its utility (footnotes, figure captions, and so on); it’s very difficult to do this consistently if you’re manipulating \baselinestretch yourself."

Why would a package be preferred over \linespread?
