I don't mind no that was really actually helpful to hear you say thank you yes I believe you are correct. My eyes are open now. Sorry. Is there a way to only adjust the first page top-margin or must I do what Kieren suggested which is "" then you need to decrease top-markup-spacing (to reduce the gap between the top margin and your title) and compensate by increasing markup-system-spacing (so that the first system stays where it currently is). "" Sorry thank you. -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
