Thank you,

I read this section and tried to use those before posting to the mailing list 
and it would do nothing.  In the end, it was a simple case of properly RTM.  
Those properties do not take numeric values but rather alists.  I finally got 
my score to look like pretty much like I wanted.

In the end, I used those settings : 

\paper {
        %annotate-spacing = ##t
        markup-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 25) (minimum-distance . 
15) (padding . 1) (stretchability . 30))
        system-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 15) (minimum-distance . 
10) (padding . 1) (stretchability . 60))
        top-system-spacing    = #'((basic-distance . 10) (minimum-distance .  
5) (padding . 1) (stretchability .  30))
        ragged-bottom = ##t
}
