Big space between piece name and top of chords

This was working in version 2.10. I ran it through the converter and got some errors, like "unexpected header"; it turned out that the header has to be at the end of the score block. That fixed, it's outputting a big space between "אדון עולם" and the top of the chords. I fiddled with it (not rea

Two notes per syllable and two syllables per note
