Sorry I wasn't clear. The three lines above have the additional
effect of moving the title to the top, nearly aligned with
subsequent pages of the body of the document.

By the way, the effects of

---------
\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}

\chapterstyle{article}

\begin{document}

\author{test}
\title{test}
\maketitle


\begingroup % local change
\let\clearforchapter\relax
\chapter{test}

\endgroup

dsf

\end{document}
---------

and

---------
\documentclass[a4paper,article]{memoir}

%\chapterstyle{article}

\begin{document}

\author{test}
\title{test}
\maketitle


\begingroup % local change
\let\clearforchapter\relax
\chapter{test}

\endgroup

dsf

\end{document}
---------

are not identical on my system. The latter version reduces the
vertical space between the title and the author.


the article class option hooks into the maketitle command

\ifartopt
\chapterstyle{article}
\counterwithout{figure}{chapter}
\counterwithout{table}{chapter}
\counterwithout{footnote}{chapter}
\counterwithout{equation}{chapter}
\renewcommand{\chaptername}{}
\renewcommand{\maketitlehookb}{%
\vskip -1.5\topsep\vskip -1.5\partopsep}
\renewcommand{\maketitlehookc}{%
\vskip -1.5\topsep\vskip -1.5\partopsep}
\fi



I also just noticed that the \begingroup...\endgroup has the
effect of indenting the first paragraph, which may or may not
be wanted...


my mistake

the only thing \chearforchapter does is to change the page, so locally I just make it not do that.

A better method might be

\def\clearforchapter{}

\chapter{test}

\def\clearforchapter{\cleartorecto}
