Re: padding at top of first page

[Hugh Myers]

Thanks for the pointer, Alexander. I had looked, but not far enough.
Here is what works:

\version "2.13.7"
\header {
  tagline = ##f
}
\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
  }
}
\paper{
  indent = 0\mm
  paper-width = 3\in
  line-width = 1.5\in
  paper-height = 5\in
  print-page-number = ##f
  after-title-space = 0\mm
  before-title-space = 0\mm
  between-system-padding = 0\mm
  between-system-space = 0\mm
  between-title-space = 0\mm
  head-separation = 0\mm
  page-top-space = 0\mm
  ragged-last-bottom = ##f
}

\relative c'{
  \set Score.barNumberVisibility = ##f
  e,4 s2.
  \pageBreak
  f4 s2.
  \pageBreak
  g4 s2.
  \pageBreak
  a4 s2.
}

I've now got the basis for creating flash cards in Lilypond. Even
though commercial cards are inexpensive, these are cheaper and can be
customized to suit my needs (adding tablature for instance.) Besides
it was a good way to learn a bit more about Lilypond.
