Include the snipped I mentioned¹ and then edit it. Replace

,------------
| scoreTitleMarkup = \markup \null
`------------

with

scoreTitleMarkup = \markup { \column {
\defaultBookTitleMarkup
%  \on-the-fly #print-all-headers { \defaultBookTitleMarkup \hspace #1 }
  \fill-line {
    \fromproperty #'header:piece
    \fromproperty #'header:opus
  }
} } }

For some reason that on-the-fly doesn't trigger, I don't know enough about the 
mechanics behind it to explain this. Which is why it doesn't work to just 
delete the \markup \null part, which I would expect to bring back the default 
setting (this formatting actually _is_ the default setting, with an addition 
to make it work again).

And finally, insert the formatting for defaultBookTitleMarkup:

defaultBookTitleMarkup = \markup {
  \override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5)
  \column {
    \fill-line { \fromproperty #'header:dedication }
    \override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5)
    \column {
      \huge \larger \bold
      \fill-line {
        \larger \fromproperty #'header:title
      }
      \fill-line {
        \large \smaller \bold
        \larger \fromproperty #'header:subtitle
      }
      \fill-line {
        \smaller \bold
        \fromproperty #'header:subsubtitle
      }
      \fill-line {
        \fromproperty #'header:poet
        { \large \bold \fromproperty #'header:instrument }
        \fromproperty #'header:composer
      }
      \fill-line {
        \fromproperty #'header:meter
        \fromproperty #'header:arranger
      }
    }
  }
}
