Merci, Pierre. That succeeded in moving the chord names down to the 5th measure (2nd system? Not sure of proper term here).  However, it made me realize that all I had to do was add more chords to the Chords block and voila! Mahalo. J. -- Univers

Oh Wise Ones, I use Lilypond to produce jazz leadsheets for concert, Bb and Eb instruments, and find I often have to tweak parts to get them to fit on to a single A4 page. Alto sax parts tend to need a bit more compression because they tend to have more ledger lines at the top of the staff. I
