I have the following commands to adjust all that in my files (these are set to 
get as many bars on a line as possible, just tweak the numbers):

\version "2.12.2"
#(set-global-staff-size 25)

\paper {
  between-system-space = 0\cm
  between-system-padding = #3
  ragged-bottom=##t
  ragged-last-bottom=##t
}


\score {
%...
\layout { 
    \context {
      \Score
      \override SpacingSpanner #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 1)
      \override SpacingSpanner #'shortest-duration-space  = #0
      \override SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment  = #0
    }

  }
}
