No, I mean the prefix in the preamble of mgp file.
In this preamble (or in the default.mgp file) you may put
lines like

%default 1 center, size 2, fore "white", bgrad 0 0 128 180 1, font
"thick"
%default 2 size 7, vgap 10
%default 3 size 2, bar "gray70" 6 2 96, vgap 10
%default 4 size 1
%default 5 size 6, leftfill, vgap 30, prefix "  ", font "standard"

In the last one it is specified that in the 5th line of each page
(and in following lines, if not otherwise specified) there must
be a prefix of 2 blanks.
You may reduce this prefix to 1 blank and introduce a leading blank
in each text line affected by this default...

I think that this is acceptable, unless you wanted *no* prefix
in your presentation... (note however that a left-aligned line
displayed with no leading blank space has got a poor look...)
