My advise is to upgrade your version (you are running an old
development version).
Latest development version (2.13) has greatly improved the vertical
spacing and has a special setting parameter for this particular case.
Then you can change this spacing via

\paper {
  score-system-spacing = #'((space . 14) (minimum-distance . 8) (padding . 1))
}

Detailed explanations are there:
NR 4.1.2 Page formatting (! version 2.13.37 !)

Cheers,
