Try:

\paper{
  interscoreline = 1.0\pt % Default = 15
}

To fill each page vertically with equal spacing, add
the line 
  interscorelinefill=1

You could also decrease the minimumVerticalExtent property
for the Staff contexts (see the documentation of Lilypond
internals for syntax and default value). If you have
some PianoStaff, the forced-distanceof the VerticalAlignment
grob may also be reduced. However, if you change these
variables, you really have to review the result carefully
so you don't get any extra collisions.
