Have a look here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-_005cpaper-variables#list-of-flexible-vertical-spacing-_005cpaper-variables

The variables you need are:

last-bottom-spacing
the distance from the last system or top-level markup on a page to the 
bottom of the printable area (i.e. the top of the bottom margin).

top-system-spacing
the distance from the top of the printable area (i.e. the bottom of the 
top margin) to the first system on a page, when there is no (title or 
top-level) markup between the two.
