1. You can change the way the bookTitleMarkup and scoreTitleMarkup  
are defined, to make the title block(s) take up less vertical space.
2. You can change \paper properties like before-title-space, after- 
title-space, and between-title-space, to have more systems fit on the  
(first) page.
3. You can use \noPageBreak at the end of the system that Lilypond is  
pushing to page 2, to force it onto page 1.

In each case, search the (2.11) docs [including the LSR] for those  
respective terms -- I'm sure you'll find more than enough info to  
assist you.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
