I'm having trouble eliminating vertical space above an Ossia

The vertical distance above the ossia I could not reduce no matter how
much I tweaked the numbers in the override, and so the distance
between the two lines with ossia in the middle is different from the
rest. I also tried "staff-staff-spacing" instead of
"default-staff-staff-spacing" but there is no change.
Is it possible to reduce the vertical distance above the ossia? I
gave up and ended up doing the ossia with music included in a markup,
for the markup I know how to tweak all vertical distances.
You could always try to approach from the paper block? :) Does that work for
your needs?
[snippet erased]
\paper {
system-system-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 10)
(minimum-distance . 1)
(padding . 1)
(stretchability . 6))
}
The problem is that the vertical distance between line 1 and 2 is larger than
between lines 2 and 3. I would like it to be equal for all lines. I
can achieve this with the "markup" below, but not with the way the
manual suggests to do "ossia":
\version "2.19.32"
\new Staff = "main" \relative {
\repeat unfold 4 { c''4 b d c} \break
c4 b d c c^\markup {
\score {
\new Staff \with {
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
alignAboveContext = #"main"
\magnifyStaff #2/3
firstClef = ##f
}
\relative c'' { e4 d f e \bar "|"}
\layout { }
}
}
\repeat unfold 2 { c4 b d c} \break
\repeat unfold 4 { c4 b d c} \break
\repeat unfold 4 { c4 b d c} \break
c4 b c2
}
