I don't presume to know about best practice,
but I suspect it doesn't include negative spacing.
It's too easy to ask for nonsensical intervals and then
Lilypond quietly discards the whole markup,
e.g. try applying \pad-around #-3 to your title.
But maybe you would like to try out my millimetres version of vspace:
#(define-markup-command (mm-feed layout props amount) (number?)
(let ((o-s (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'output-scale)))
(ly:make-stencil "" '(0 . 0) (cons 0 (abs (/ amount o-s))))))
This mm-feed command was intended for use as standalone markup,
but you could use it in a header by tacking it onto an item with:
#(define-markup-command (put-mm layout props dir amount arg)
(ly:dir? number? markup?) (interpret-markup layout props
(markup #:put-adjacent Y dir arg #:mm-feed amount)))
as in
dedication = \markup \put-mm #DOWN #10 "dedicated to me"
Cheers,
Robin
