I'm editing a file that was created in 2.16.  Within the \paper settings, I have the following two lines that put headers on pages after the first, and they print too close to the top edge of the paper.  What markup should be added to move the headers down a bit?

evenHeaderMarkup=\markup \fill-line { \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string \htitle \hcomposer }

oddHeaderMarkup= \markup \fill-line { \on-the-fly #not-first-page \hcomposer \on-the-fly #not-first-page \htitle \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }

Thanks.

Larry,

This may also help. I made this diagram because I had trouble understanding which page layout properties did what. See attached for a graphical example of vertical layout properties (some rigid, some flexible). This, in conjunction with the description in the notation reference (http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/page-layout), should give you enough options.

Also, you could also do the something like this in a \markup block:

\markup { \column { " " \line { \what-you-want-to-print } } }

This will force a little extra space on top of "\what-you-want-to-print".

Regards,

Abraham
