I'm editing a file that was created in 2.16.  Within the \paper settings, I have the following two lines that put headers on pages after the first, and they print too close to the top edge of the paper.  What markup should be added to move the headers down a bit?

evenHeaderMarkup=\markup \fill-line { \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string \htitle \hcomposer }

oddHeaderMarkup= \markup \fill-line { \on-the-fly #not-first-page \hcomposer \on-the-fly #not-first-page \htitle \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }

Thanks.

Larry,

The easiest thing to change would be to increase the "top-margin" property in the "\paper" block, like:

\paper {

top-margin = 1\in % or \cm or something else...

}
