Hello, I am in the stages of correcting my thesis to the examiners 
requirements. 

I need  to reduce reduce the white space above the first page of a. chapter, I 
have reduced the spacing between chapter and its title by using titlesec as 
shown below. From what I have read the space reduction above chapter is 
controlled by a macro which needs editing. I am out of my comfort zone doing 
this - is there an easier way to do this or could I get help doing this edit 
please ???

I have listed and outline of the LyX header

Thank you


Brian Kneller
