Hi, (I post with trepidation; having searched the wiki -- I promise.) I am setting poems with this kind of approach (using memoir class.)
----------------------- \poemtitle{Blah} \settowidth{\versewidth}{xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx } \begin{verse}[\versewidth] Line 1 \\ Line 2 \\ Line 3 \\ \hspace{2.5em}Line 4 \end{verse} ---------------------- What's happening is that "Blah" (the title) is being orphaned on the page and I want it to (automatically) break to the next page. I have this in the preamble: ------------------------------ \newcommand{\extratablespace}[1]{\noalign{\vskip#1}} \flushbottom \newcommand{\myrule}{\rule{5cm}{.1pt}} \raggedbottom \widowpenalty=10000 \clubpenalty=10000 --------------------------------- Which (I think) is the big-stick approach to the problem, but it's not working. Any ideas? \d
