Since you don't say what error message you get or include your file in 
the email,
it's impossible to provide any help here.

There's currently some work in the development version 2.11 on the exact
positioning of the title. However, the simplest trick is to add 
something that
takes space but doesn't show up in print, for example
\header{
 title = "My title"
 arranger = "   "
}

You can try the same kind of trick. However, read the sections on vertical
spacing in the manual (and the section on page formatting).

Do you, by chance, print on letter size paper? LilyPond will by default 
produce
its output for print on A4 size paper. Read in "Paper size" on how to change
this setting. Also, in the printout window on Acrobat, you can mark that 
you
want to scale the output to fit on your available paper, but that should 
never
be necessary if you tell the correct paper size to LilyPond directly.
