Sorry that was me and I realized after reading your note that I accidentally
responded to you privately instead of the list.

Try adding:
\layout {
        \context { \Staff
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-8 . 4)
  }
I could not get your file to compile but there may be a problem on my
system.
