Just off the top of my head: Either you use different \scores for the 
sections (eventually with indent = 0) and increase score-system-spacing 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables#list-of-flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables> 
or, if you don’t mind a little hack, you attach a blank markup to a note 
in the top staff of the system (btw: mind the difference between systems 
and staves, it reduces confusion) which follows the intended gap, e.g. 
^\markup \vspace #5 or ^\markup \huge \strut (didn’t try these, just 
adjust them to your needs).
