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.
