Centering on page

All I want is for all of the other pages that come after it to have the staves in the center, instead of having a void at the bottom of the page. However, I also want the first page to contain a title and a little space before the staves begin. In fact, the first page is perfect, but if I try to make the staves assume a more central position on the page via the general style options the first page becomes empty (save for the title) and its contents placed on the second page. Is there no way to ignore the first page, sort of like Word's "Different first page" feature? this is not a problem with solo instruments, it just comes up when writing for a large ensemble/orchestra. Thanks in advance.
