I'd suggest generally that you get into the habit of setting some
\paper { } variables for all your scores.

For example I always use (among other specific settings)

 \paper {

  indent = 10\mm
  left-margin = 15\mm
  right-margin = 15\mm
  bottom-margin = 15\mm
  top-margin = 10\mm
  line-length = 180\mm
  ragged-last-bottom = ##f

}

which suits my needs for A4 paper.

So you could then play about with ragged-last-bottom and bottom-margin.

Hope this helps.

James
