Because you know there is the title markup first, try setting
markup-system-spacing instead of top-system-spacing. top-system-spacing is
only effective if there isn't a markup between the first system and the
top-margin. Likewise, top-markup-spacing is only effective when there isn't
a system between the first markup and the top-margin (such as when you end
one piece and have a score title between it and the next one).
The attached diagram might be helpful for understanding vertical spacing
variables.
