Thanks. I'd seen that, but didn't see how it applied (not least because 
part of the example is hidden to the left of the left margin!). I'll 
have to play with it.

I need the line break BEFORE the blank space, not after. I need the text 
LEVEL with the staff, not above. It would be nice if the double bar was 
clean, not with lines sticking out of it. And from my previous attempt, 
I ended up with the clef and key signature not moving, so my line had 
them hanging in empty space before the start of the staff :-(

Thanks anyway. I'll play with that and see where it gets me (not that 
far, I expect :-(

Cheers,
Wol
