I suppose that you used the property Staff.minimumVerticalExtent, which affects the spacing around each stave, no matter if it's one stave out of several in a full orchestral score or if it's the only stave.
The distance between score lines is affected by a paper variable called interscoreline, as described in Section 4.6.5 Page layout of the manual. You may want to reduce that instead.

I experience some little glitches by trying to reduce the overall vertical spacing on a very simple song containing a line of lyrics and only one staff. When I reduce verticalExtent, it looks like the first two lines of Staff are closer than the other lines... I have seen no way to reduce the vertical Extent for all the lines without the two first ones being closer than the succeeding ones.
The other staff lines might be forced to be farther apart due to articulations, text, dynamics, etc. Certainly the verticalExtent property is supposed to affect all lines. What happens if you set verticalExtent to a really small number (ie 0), or a really big number (say, 10) ? Does the problem remain?
If the problem remains, could you send us a small example that demonstrates this?
P.S : please CC me the answer since I am not on the list !
Don't worry; policy on this list is to CC everybody, even when we know that they're on the list. :)
