For my empty score sheet generator, I had to adjust the vertical spacing quite 
a bit, too. The default settings of lilypond simply look ugly.

To see my values, go to 
   http://www.edition-kainhofer.com/de/empty-scoresheets.html
and choose e.g. "Choir, 4 staves (SATB)", with 2 systems/page and no space for 
the header reserved.

You can then download the lilypond file, which contains the vertical spacing 
variables that I'm using with lilypond 2.14.

Cheers,
Reinhold
