I don't mind no that was really actually helpful to hear you say thank you
yes I believe you are correct. My eyes are open now. Sorry. Is there a way
to only adjust the first page top-margin or must I do what Kieren suggested
which is "" then you need to decrease top-markup-spacing (to reduce the gap
between the top margin and your title) and compensate by increasing
markup-system-spacing (so that the first system stays where it currently
is).
""
Sorry thank you.
