Re: top margin for subsequent pages

[Vaylor Trucks]

That did it - thank you. From the documentation it seemed to me as if it took a scalar value, not a list.

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,

Are you using the syntax as explained in the section just before in the manual?

Structure of flexible vertical spacing alists

For instance

top-system-spacing.basic-distance = #10

or

top-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 10)
                          (minimum-distance . 8)
                          (padding . 5))

Cheers,

Xavier
