There probably isn't enough room to print two systems of the score on 
the first
page.  To test this, try reducing the size of the notation (say, make 
it 12).  Do you
get more than one system now?  If so, try playing with that number to 
find out how
big you can make the notes, while still having two (or more) systems on 
the first
page.

Alternately, set raggedbottom = ##t.  That will leave all the blank 
space at the
bottom of the first page, instead of having blank space between the 
title and the
music.
