Er, ... no. I had overlooked that. Just did no to no effect.
Now the log shows an overfull hbox for the header:

Jean-Marie,
That clarifies my understanding of firstheadvpos.
I modified My.lco to \@setplength{firstheadvpos}{1mm} and re-compiled and
re-installed both TeXLive-2017 and LyX-2.2.3. Reconfigured LyX, too. Still
no logo displayed on preview or compiled .pdf.
This is interesting. Reading the .log I see no reference to the first page
head being too high, but I do see this:

(scrlttr2) Current paper size is not `a4'!

(scrlttr2) Maybe you know what you are doing,
(scrlttr2) so I do not change this myself.
At the top of the preamble I inserted \LoadLetterOption{My}%
so I don't know why LyX is using DIN.lco. And the page format is US letter,

I'll read Chapter 4 and see if I get ideas.

The important thing is \@setplength commands go before the \KOMAoptions

My reference manual says (chapter 4 page 189): " By the way, the DIN lco-file will always be loaded as the first lco file. This ensures that all pseudo-lengths will have more or less reasonable default values. Because of this, it is not necessary to load this default file on your own.

The setting file does not have a \LoadLetterIption command, and does

Jean-Marie,
My KOMA-Script version is ancient: 2004; think the version is 2.98. I just
downloaded the latest from CTAN (2017-09-07 but have totally forgotten how
to upgrade an installed package. I'm running TeXLive-2017 and I _think_ that
I cp the koma-script.tds.zip file to /usr/share/texmf/ and unzip it there,
but I'm not confident that's the proper way.
These \@setplength should be in the lco file (letter class options) which

think you can use them anywhere in your Lyx document.
Have a look at any of the lco file you have (DIN.lco f.ex.).
I'll look for (and in) .lco files. First need to upgrade KOMA-Script.
Many thanks,

Hello Rich,

firstheadvpos
vertical distance of letterhead from top paper edge (section 17.1.2,

\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{15mm}
