Thank you! That helps LOTS more. I've looked through the <installdir>/<version>/ly files, and I think I understand why, too. Thank you, again.

Hi Cal,

I looked at scoreTitleMarkup already, but without any spacing commands in it already for me to modify, I'm not really sure what changes to make. I tried the naive vspace I mentioned, but it did not work. Could you please point me to the place from which scoreTitleMarkup inherits its spacing?

Does this help more?

\version "2.19.54"

\paper {
    ragged-right = ##f
    scoreTitleMarkup = \markup \fontsize #12 \fill-line { "Title" }
    markup-system-spacing =
        #'((basic-distance . 0) ( minimum-distance . 0) (padding . 0) (stretchability. 0))
}

\new Staff { \clef bass f1 }

As you can see, there is essentially no space between the title and the staff.

Cheers,

Kieren.
