G'day mate!,

Cross papering of S&S flanges is where you put a small strip only on 
the opposite "corners" of the flange, as opposed to placing travel 
paper across the entire side of the flange.  Depending on the amount 
of shift desired, you may only use one strip, or you may double up 
for gross adjustments.

You try to add paper only on the outer edges, as having too much on 
top will affect traveling. Steinway bashing aside, this method does 
have permanency. If you later take the hammer off and replace it 
(without dislodging the paper) it will automatically realign itself, 
and a loose screw does not instantly mean an unspaced hammer.
