this looks like a good solution - there's another approach: looking at
titling-init.ly you see the definitions

bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
  \override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5)
  \column {
    \fill-line { \fromproperty #'header:dedication }
    \override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5)
    \column { 
…

where you should be able to customize both /baseline-skip/s to your needs
(or add new ones for other lines)

(you don't have to change this in the original lilypond file! just copy the
definition of the bookTitleMarkup to a \paper section)
