General ⇒ Optimal marginalia for a A4 print with headings?

[benowar]

Hi,

I am close to printing my work and wondered about the right marginalia to use. Currently my header looks like this using the KOMA Script

Code: Select all

\documentclass[
	pdftex,
	11pt,
	a4paper,
	pagesize,   		
	BCOR12mm,   		
	smallheadings,
	halfparskip,	
	plainheadsepline,
	plainfootsepline,
	openright,
]{scrbook}

I can see two issues:

1.) Since I am also using the package scrpage2 and defining headings using

Code: Select all

\clearscrheadings
\clearscrplain
\setheadsepline{.4pt}
\lohead[\headmark]{\headmark}
\rohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
\lehead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
\rehead[\headmark]{\headmark}

the margins on top and bottom seem wrong. Its only 2cm on top and 6cm on bottom. I guess for some reason, when calculating the marginalia, the headings is not considered. What's the best practice here? Should the page be vertically centered? How can I change the marginalia to respect the extra headings I use?

2.) My titlepage shows marginalia too which seems wrong, because imho a title page should be horizontally centered. Is there a way to change marginalia only for the title page? Or is the assumption I have wrong (about the titlepage that should not have marginalia)?

Thanks for helping,
Ben

Ok for the first question I can answer myself: By using

Code: Select all

\addtolength{\topmargin}{+1cm}

I get the desired result.

Now I just need to find out how to change the positioning of the title page. Is there any way to simply move the contents of a page by some inches to the right?

To answer myself again, the chngpage package seems to solve 1) too
