For some reason, it's not possible to redefine the \score markup
command in a .ly file using define-markup-command.

If you don't mind amending scm/define-markup-commands.scm, you can try
the following tweaks.

(define-builtin-markup-command (score layout props score)
   (ly:score?)
   music
   ()

Change () to ((baseline-skip))

Remove these lines:

         (paper-system-stencil
            (vector-ref (ly:paper-score-paper-systems output) 0))

Replace them with the following:

        (stack-stencils Y DOWN baseline-skip
                        (map paper-system-stencil
                             (vector->list
                              (ly:paper-score-paper-systems output))))

Despite the rudimentary formatting here (you can only set the distance
between the systems; paper variables set in \layout will be ignored),
I think this would be a useful improvement on the current behaviour,
so I'll prepare a patch with these changes.
