This standardises all my markdown files to have no leading newline after the `---` that ends the frontmatter. This makes display on Gemini (in which newlines matter) much more consistent! I can't spot any errors with the regex I used here, but there may be one or two articles that change shape — hopefully I can spot them and fix them!

Holst's Planets Suite
Partly because my Dad played it often, partly because Holst grew up near where I did, partly because it kicked off my teenage education in music, I will always have a special place in my heart for The Planets.
You should absolutely listen to it now, particularly Jupiter, the Bringer of Jolity, and Mars, the Bringer of War (my favourites by a long way). My music teacher got us to close our eyes in our first class with him, played Mars, and asked us to describe what we thought was happening. I'll never forget the David Attenborough-esque march of the red ants I saw so vividly, clashing against the black ants as that piece sways and moves. (Perhaps I played too much SimAnt that year?)
