There are various settings you can add to a \paper block to control the
vertical spacing. Try adding this to your file:
\paper {
system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = 20
}
For more details, see the documentation at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables
Hope this helps,
David
