It's technically what he said. The space between staves is definitely
at a minimum. But all the space removed from these spots is just
shoved to the bottom. The problem has not changed -- the glaring
emptiness is just on a different area of the page. Page 1 of my
current score has 7 to 9 cm of nothingness. It looks very
unprofessional for a multipage score.
What I seek is dispersing white space between system staves. A system
should take up as much of its alotted division as is practical. Look
at a published full orchestra score. In most cases there is a single
system per page, and it extends from top to bottom.

That's what he said. If you want as little space between staves as
possible, then you want
\paper {
ragged-bottom = ##t
}

The 2.9.9 manual has a new chapter on spacing, and everything apart
from one subsection (which is marked) applies to 2.8. Take a look at
that, and if you see any mistakes or can think of any improvements,
please let me know.
