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 !)

I think that this is what fr. michael gilmary was wanting...

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

Would it be possible for the v2.13 docs to be expanded so that the full 
syntax of both "intra-system-spacing" and "extra-system-spacing" options 
is made explicit.
:)
