the following assumes you've checked out http://www.nabble.com/Controlling-vertical-spacing-exactly---mini-HOWTO-to8419399.html and decided against calculating the Y-offset of every staff on every page.
my current kludge: \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'Y-extent = #'(0.0 . X.X) where X.X is the distance from the first staff's middle line to the bottom of the titling (including descenders). You'll want a number exceeding the highest element on the first staff of every piece plus a little padding. This has worked for me even with single-digit time signatures and even customizing the stencil with markups. Of course, your piece will have to have a time signature on the first line. If not, you can reference "Staff.Clef" instead, taking into account that the treble clef will be measured from the G-line and the bass from the F-line (plus offsets if displaced vertically?). I don't like to have to remember to care what clef starts off the first line, so I've opted to abuse the time signature. Anyone have something more obvious?
