| Isn't that what the pseudocomment %%titlespace is for?
| I think the default is 10 or 20, so if you put
| %%titlespace 60
| before your T: line, it adds 60 (pixels?) of space before it prints the
| title.

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.
