Re: top margin for subsequent pages

[Vaylor Trucks]

Thank you Xavier. I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong, though. If I put top-system-spacing in the paper block and give it any value at all, it actually reduces the space on the subsequent pages between the top of the page and the first system. I even tried setting it to #1000 but got the same result. What am I missing?

Hello,

Increase top-system-spacing.

Cf. NR 4.1.4 Flexible vertical spacing \paper variables > List of flexible vertical spacing \paper variables

Cheers,
