You can force LilyPond to use the whole line for the (then left-aligned) 
title using \fill-line:

  title = \markup \fill-line { \line { Add title here } \null }

This may be wrapped in a helper function:

#(define-markup-command (forceLeft layout props content) (markup?)
   (interpret-markup layout props
     #{
       \markup \fill-line { #content \null }
     #}
     ))

\header {
  title = \markup \forceLeft "Title of famous piece"
  subtitle = \markup \forceLeft \line { Interesting subtitle }
}

But note that due to copyright reasons, quite strict restrictions are 
likely to apply in most countries regarding re-typesetting the music 
contained in your link.
