Line spacing of main title in PrintDraft

Question

I am trying to adjust the line spacing of the main title in Print Draft in PrintDraft-mods.sty, because some main titles are longer than a line, and single line spacing is too narrow.
According to PT help, this can be done as follows:
\LineSpacing x
where x = 0 (for single space), 1 (1 1/2 space) or 2 (double space)
However, when I enter one of these values, Print Draft gives an error message “Undefined control sequence” and fails. And when I enter a value in custom.sty instead of PrintDraft-mods.sty, the change is applied correctly in PT, but Print Draft fails in the same way.
How can the line spacing be changed?

Answer 1

Those of us who use XeTeX directly (not through Paratext Print Draft) usually use a command like this in the setup file:

% make sure multi-line \mt1's have enough space between the lines
\sethook{start}{mt1}{\baselineskip=22\FontSizeUnit\relax}

I imagine if you put this command in your PrintDraft-mods.tex file, that the multi-line spacing in your \mt1 titles will be “different” - maybe not what you want, however. Then you just need to figure out what number to use in the command instead of “22” (which is a multiplier for the FontSizeUnit) to give you the spacing you want.

This works! Thank you, I’d never have figured this out myself.

Most things in XeTeX are in the category of “I’d never have figured this out myself”…

But there is an email discussion list where you can post your questions and often get help. It is a Google group called tex-typesetting-tools. To subscribe, I think you send an email to:
