The only way I'm aware of (for this very first system position) is with an
explicit vertical position statement, found here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/explicit-staff-and-system-positioning
The down-side is that it makes the system behave more like when you use
'extra-offset, so it affects that system ONLY and none others.
The alternative would be to re-write the title markup, prefaced using
something like \with-dimensions to artificially fix its vertical size so
the first system *thinks* it's supposed to start at a specific spot.
