Does this approach help?

%%%%
\version "2.22.0"

song =
<< \new ChordNames \chordmode { c2 d:7 | g1 }
   \new Voice \fixed c' { g2 a4 fis | g1 } >>

\paper {
  indent = 0 line-width = 2\in ragged-right = ##f

  originalScoreTitleMarkup = \scoreTitleMarkup
  scoreTitleMarkup = \markup \left-column {
    \originalScoreTitleMarkup \fromproperty #'header:extra }
}

\score { \header { piece = "Duis blandit lorem" } \song }
\score { \header { piece = "Curabitur condimentum"
                   extra = \markup \vspace #0.5 } \song }
\score { \header { piece = "Integer sit amet" } \song }

The strategy is to define a new header variable that gets vertically 
appended to the normal score markup.  Normally, this variable would be 
undefined and result in an empty stencil that causes no additional 
spacing.  But supplying a suitable value for the property would let you 
apply spacing to a particular score.
