These headings aren't great because it means that there are two headings in a row (book title and section heading) with no intervening content. Even though the section heading conveys some information, it feels redundant.

There's also a problem of the tops of the columns being unaligned, unless the second column also starts with a heading. That can happen on other pages too, but the first page of a book should look particularly nice.

Alternative solutions could be:

  • to raise the column 1 heading (or lower the column 2 start) to avoid the off-balance look
  • to set start-of-chapter headings in the same line as the chapter number (rather than the previous line)

If chapter 1 headings are kept, it would be nice to keep their formatting consistent with other start-of-chapter headings. So it may be that different formatting is required for start-of-chapter headings to middle-of-chapter-headings.

In which case perhaps the heading text should be a property of the verse, or maybe have verse-like commands:

\verse ...
\verseWithHeading{...} ...
\verseWithSubheading{...} ...

Which have different logic for the start of the chapter.
