Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ apa6 revise title page

[dsears1]

Using the apa6 style class, the title is too far down the title page so that the Author Note begins on page 2. How do I remove the vertical space before the title so I can fit the Author Note on the title page? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the MWE:

Works like a dream. Thanks Johannes_B. I don't know how to report the bug. What steps must I take?

I contacted the author, and it seems the input is wrong. The following should be the correct input.
