Yup, and that feature is pretty much restricted to those programs, though I wouldn't be surprised to hear that a few other abc programs recognize them. Actually, if you're using an abc2ps clone, there are several pseudocomments that will work. %%titlespace probably isn't the best, since it refers to the space between title lines, and will still put the first title at the top. You might want to try: %%topmargin N %%topspace N These add together to control the space down to the line at the bottom of the first title. The value of N can have a suffix of "pt" (points), "cm" (centimeters) or "in" (inches); the default is points if you don't include the unit. The cleanest way guarantee that the top 15 cm are blank is: %%topmargin 15cm You'll actually get a bit more space than this at the top, since the title will then be positioned %%titlespace below that, and if you don't specify %%titlespace, you get whatever its default may be in your particular copy of the program.
