Make sure your jib tracks have a similar tempo (bpm) then synchronise and mix, using a modern cross-fader (5th-generation response curve) to switch between them.

Simon Blake or Chemical Andy can give you more details.

Alternatively, fore and aft, with everything else set up properly (mast rake etc) pull jib in to correct sheet tension for the wind strength.  If the top jib tell tale stalls before the bottom one move the lead back, if the bottom one stalls first move it forward.  In and out determines sheeting angle, if you are backwinding the main ease it out, if the jib stalls before the main bring it in.
