THIS, my friend, is why I always ERT fine tune my frontmatter. By the time you
end up trying to outsmart your document class in order to get the frontmatter
the way you want your frontmatter to look, it's easier to do the whole thing
in ERT. Not only that, but a lot of people decide on a document class based
on what they want the frontmatter to look like, and then suffer the
consequences in the mainmatter.

I don't see a problem with hardreturns, but you can always do something like
this:

Once again, in the frontmatter, replacing the document class's "helpful
layout" with ERT is your friend.

Joe --- You've learned a lot. When you've gotten it all, I suggest you write a
document about what you learned and post its URL here so we can all use it.
The questions you ask pop up over and over again, and your in-the-trenches
documentation would be very helpful to those who come after you.
