For simplicity, we're going to "quantize" our destination Y so that we render font glyphs only on the start of every 8 rows and every 7 pixel columns. If we then had the starting address we simply could move to the next scan line by successively adding $0400 to our destination screen pointer.
How did I know $0400? One quirk of the HGR screen is that every 8 successive scan lines start this many bytes away.
How did I know to use $0400 when going to the next line? One quirk of the HGR screen is that every 8 successive scan lines start this many bytes away. Refer back to the `HGR Memory-mapped IO` table listed above.

Figure it out ! You have all the tools and knowledge.
## Solution 2: ScrollHgrUpPixel()
There are many different ways to solve this depending if we want to prioritize space or speed.

Here's the (non-standard) assembly to scroll the HGR screen up one pixel: (I'm using the non-conventional `:` as an assembler end-of-statement sepearator to logically group the byte copies together.)
```assembly
