IIUC you want to reduce the space between _systems_ (your system
consisting in two RhythmicStaff here).
Then I'd suggest to reduce the values of basic-distance
(but also stretchability and possibly minimum-distance ) of
"system-system-spacing".
% reminder: default values
\paper {
system-system-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 12)
(minimum-distance . 8)
(padding . 1)
(stretchability . 60))
}
As explained in NR 4.1.4 Flexible vertical spacing \paper variables
