When I added the title of the piece in what used to be a single page of
music, lilypond decided to split the piece into two pages with each line of music being spaced very far apart. Previously I had been using this code in order to squeeze as much as I could onto one page without being too crowded:

\paper {
  between-system-padding = #1
  ragged-bottom=##f
  ragged-last-bottom=##f
}


Try reducing between-system even more. In addition, see the 2.9 docs for more tips on keeping music on one page. It's somewhere in chapters 3-5.


One highly relevant parameter to tweak that isn't mentioned in Sect.
"5.5 Fitting music onto fewer pages" is between-system-space, which tells
the desired center to center distance between the systems. The default value
is 20 mm and at least if you have a single stave score, it often helps to decrease
it to
between-system-space = 15\mm
You can even set it to zero if you use the settings described above.

I'll update the information in the manual.
