In this case, I'm afraid there is no good documentation to read,
except for the source code in
/usr/share/lilypond/2.x.x/tex/titledefs.tex

The easiest solution is probably to use the following trick:
\header{
  title="\mbox{}\vspace{-2cm}"
}

As an alternative, just run
lilypond-bin myfile.ly
latex myfile.tex
dvips -Ppdf -u+lilypond myfile.dvi
ps2pdf myfile.ps
