Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I'm not having much luck finding
the right org-mode customization options (due to the fact that there are so
many of them, in combination with my relative noobness).

Here's the behavior I would like to change: I have outline headings with a
blank line in between, e.g.

*** MIDI class 2 <2010-10-14 Thu 08:45>

*** MIDI class 3 <2010-10-21 Thu 08:45>

And I want to add more headings underneath MIDI class 2. So I put the cursor
at the end of the "MIDI class 2" line and hit M-return. Then I get this:

*** MIDI class 2 <2010-10-14 Thu 08:45>

***

*** MIDI class 3 <2010-10-21 Thu 08:45>

But I would rather get this:

*** MIDI class 2 <2010-10-14 Thu 08:45>
***

*** MIDI class 3 <2010-10-21 Thu 08:45>

I sort of understand that it's replicating the blank space between headings,
but I would rather put in the blank space if I want it, instead of the tool
assuming that I want it and then forcing me to take it out.

Hoping for a customize option... thanks!
James
