RE: Page layout frustration (+ documentation note)

[Fairchild]

Wol -

Having also been frustrated by the controls for vertical layout, I've
discovered several things/tricks to whip ly into partial submission.
Haven't yet documented them, but would like to try to adjust your score.
Please post, or send direct.

Thanks, tried it, it worked. Still leaves far too much blank space up top,
however...

That documentation note - I looked up tagline in the index and it pointed me
to p248, s10.4.2 page formatting. I don't know whether it's documented under
\header or not, but surely that's where I should have been pointed?
