Just to clarify: are you aware of the :empty-lines, :empty-lines-before and :empty-lines-after keys that you can set in org-capture-templates? Are your questions about the default values of these keys? I just tried a simple setup in emacs -Q with Org 9.4, namely: (setq org-capture-templates '(("s" "simple" entry (file+headline "~/org/notes.org" "Foo") "* %?" :empty-lines 1))) and Org seems to correctly respect the value of these keys when they are specified explicitly. That is, with :empty-lines 0, no newlines are added; with :empty-lines 1, a blank line appears on each side of the captured entry; with :empty-lines-after 1, a blank line appears after, but not before, the new entry; and so on. Can you use these keys to get the behavior you are looking for? Or is your question about something else? -- Best, Richard
