I recall reading somewhere that if you have pain in the front of your knee, move your seat up and if the pain is in the back of the knee, lower your seat.
I usually adjust my seatpost no more than a quarter inch at a time.
I also wrap electrical tape around the seatpost to mark where I want it.
I have not had any knee pain for several years now that I no longer stand on the pedals to climb hills or accelerate.
