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.
