Thank you kindly.
The pdf looks okay, extra top-margin is added after printing, i see it clearly 
now here.

example sourcefile:

\version "2.18.2"

date = #(strftime "%A %d %B %Y, %M minute(s) past %H," (localtime 
(current-time)))

\paper {

  top-margin = 0.5\in
  bottom-margin = 0.5\in
  top-markup-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0) (minimum-distance . 0) (padding 
. 0) (stretchability . 0))
  %paper-height = 11\in
  %paper-width = 8.5\in
  %% prevents the title and composer name from being too close 
  %markup-system-spacing #'padding = #0.5
  %% prevents the music from being too close to the page number (after the 
first page)
