I have found an easy workaround for this problem: In your lilypond file 
simply put the line with the title AFTER the subtitle and subsubtitle 
lines.

Another workaround is to make a small change in ly2video.py. This patch 
will only work if there is at least one space before "title" in your 
Lilypond file. For me this also works.
I am not very good at regular expressions, but I guess the real fix 
requires a better matching regular expression in that line in ly2video.py.
Until then, here is my easy hack:
