Kieren,

Thank you for your reply and the instruction. I did it (I think) and the
first page disappeared. I suspect that I did not place the command in the
proper location. Your assistance is appreciated.

Mark

Subject: Re: changing top margin

Hi Mark,

> The first page of a collection of piano pieces has only the header (title,
subtitle ) on the first page.  It is placed lower on the page with:

subsequent pages (that contain the music)?

Use \bookpart around your title page - then it has its own [separate]
margins, etc.

Hope this helps!

\version "2.18.0"

\paper {
  print-all-headers = ##t
  }


  \bookpart {
    \paper {
      top-margin = 3\in
    }
    
  \header {
    title = "Phatasie-Stüke"
    subtitle = "Für Klavier zu zwei Händen"
    subsubtitle = "Nach Handschriften und persölicher Herausgegeben von KLARA SCHUMANN"
  }
  }
  
  \bookpart {
    
  \score {
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \new Staff = "right" \relative c'' {
  \key ges \major
  \time 4/4
  
  ges 1
  
}
  \new Staff = "left" { \clef bass \relative c' {
  \key ges \major
  \time 4/4
  
  ges1
  
}
  }

}
}
