The property names are case sensitive, if you change to Score.skipBars,
it should work properly.
Regarding the spacing, Han-Wen sent me a tip the other week to change
the value of the paper variable breakable_column_space_strength. The
default value is 8, saying that it's ``8 times as easy'' to break the
line at e.g. a multimeasure rest as as an ordinary bar line. When I
set it to 2.0 and also decreased the minimum space for multimeasure
rests with mmrest_x_minimum = 1.4*\staffheight, it gave a nicer result
on my example.
