I suggest using padding-top instead.
Padding-top is visible even if the scenebreak happens to sit on top of a new page.
And orphans can be useful for scenebreaks.
For example I don't like to have only one or two lines of a new scene on the bottom of a page. I prefer to have the new scene after a scenebreak pushed to the next page if the old page has only room for 1 or 2 lines.
With:
body
{text-indent:1.3em;
orphans:1;
widows:1;}
sectionbreak
{text-indent:0;
padding-top:2em;
orphans:3;}
and a scenebreak on the bottom of the page I get:
1. the scenebreak pushed to the next page and
2. starting with a 2 em visible gap on top.
