Which version? In 2.14 and 2.16 the title, subtitle, etc. should be 
added as metadata automatically.

There are usually not needed in most cases. They allow you to insert 
metadata to the pdf file that are different from the displayed title 
etc. If you simply want the displayed title, then you don't have to do 
anything, lilypond will automatically add the top-level header fields as 
metadata (Note that header blocks of a \score or a \book are NOT used 
for metadata, though!)
