I like to put one blank line before a slugline. In general, I feel there should never be more than one blank line in a row in a screenplay. Waste of space, y'know.
However, Screenwriter comes with the default set to two blank lines before a slugline. So which is the industry standard.
If you have an opinion, please vote. If you have a strenuous opinion, please vote and comment. Thanks!

UPDATE: So far, the pros overwhelmingly (eight to one) use a single blank line. Everyone else is split almost evenly, with slightly more using single spaces.
