Aligning Staffs on Facing Pages

I am trying to print a double page of music that will be the inside facing pages of a folded piece.  If I include the title, the staffs will not allign horizontally on the facing pages.  This looks very bad.  Is there a fix?  Thanks!

Oh! I know! ask me! ask me!

In the Page Setup menu, under Options, uncheck the "Title page Menu" and then go to "Margins" and make a large top margin, like 3". (also check "Mirror Margins". Then add the title as a text item. View the score in print preview, take note of which barline on the first system is in the middle, and insert the text there, with the expression placement set high, 20 or so, and centred at next note/bar, and the Page Title Text font.

I just tried this and it works. The only draw back is the big blank space on page 2 but you can fill that if you like with a smaller title, like "Name of Tune p.2/2" using the same procedure but a smaller font.
