How to diminish the vertical space underneath a musical example

[Robert Blackstone]

Dear all, 

What can I do to diminish the vertical space between the score and the next 
text block? Or better, make the vertical space underneath the score the same as 
that above the score.

This is what it looks like now:
%<------------------------------------

\markup {
\column {
\line {Some comments in the original language.}
}
\hspace #14
\column {\italic {
\line {The same translated into some other language.}
}}
}% End markup

\score {
        \layout {
        indent = 7.5\cm } 
\relative c' 
{ \new Staff { \omit Staff.TimeSignature \clef treble \key c \major
c d e f
}} 
} % End score 

\markup {
\column {
\line {Other comments in the original language.}
}
\hspace #14
\column {\italic {
\line {The same translated into some other language.}
}}
}% End markup

%<-----------------------------------

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,
