Hello fellow TeXnicians,
I am facing a frustrating problem when trying to typeset a book using the memoir class. I have designed a nice chapter and heading style, but I have broken it down to the following MWE:
% !TEX TS-program =xelatex
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[12pt,a5paper]{memoir}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\settypeblocksize{160mm}{100mm}{}
\setulmargins{*}{25mm}{*}
\setlrmargins{25mm}{*}{*}
\setheaderspaces{*}{*}{0.7}
\checkandfixthelayout
\flushbottom
\linespread{1.2}
\setlength{\parskip}{0\baselineskip}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Nice Chapter}
\section*{Good Section}
\lipsum*
\end{document}
Now there is one line of text too much on the first page, so that the textblocks are not lined up properly.
(Red box added for emphasis.)
How do I force the first page to line up with the other pages? Which distances can I tweak to accomplish this?
The textblocks will actually line up when removing the settypeblocksize command, but then the text block does not have correct dimensions.
The desired output would look more like this:
The "good" example has been produced by removing settypeblocksize, but as you can see, the rest of the layout is completely different (and that's not desired.)
