The space between headings and chapter or section titles is a frequently answered issue. But what if I want to keep that distance but reduce the space between heading and text on pages without a title?
I write my thesis using scrreprt and I am currently forced to squeeze two huge photographs and some text on one page. So I need to reduce the space between heading and text without changing the layout of pages that start with a chapter or section.
Here is an example:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside,notitlepage]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[a4paper,left=35mm,right=25mm, top=35mm, bottom=25mm]{geometry}
\usepackage[headsepline, plainheadsepline, automark]{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\chead[]{\headmark}
\ohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
\cfoot[]{}
\automark{chapter}
\setkomafont{pageheadfoot}{\footnotesize}
\setlength{\headsep}{0.5cm}
\renewcommand*\chapterheadstartvskip{\vspace{0cm}}
\renewcommand*\chapterheadendvskip{\vspace{0.5cm}}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{scrplain}
\chapter{A chapter}
some text
The distance to the heading is okay.
\newpage
\section{Another line}
here goes some text too.
The distance here is too small.
\newpage
This is the part I aimed for. It should be that close.
\end{document}
As you can see changing headsep moves the section as far up as the normal text. I have tried the titlesec-package and some redefinitions like this (german golatex thread) without getting it back in its normal position but it seems impossible without changing back 'headsep'. But there must be a way to disconnect these two spaces, right? I would really appreciate some help and shared knowledge since I am fairly new to LaTeX.
