Have you looked here?

Look at "vertical spacing" and "page layout" in particular, although you might
find "font size" interesting too.

"Lily was here" should appear on the final page.  There used to be a bug wherein
if you only had a small amount on the last page, it would print the tagline
on the second-last page.  That bug might have been fixed, but I think the real
reason is that you now have more stuff on the second page.

If you want something to appear on the first page (and your score is longer than
one page), then use \header{copyright="blah blah"}
