The lilypond manual suggests using \paper variables to reduce the white
space around the score. In particular, you should set oddFooterMarkup
and oddHeaderMarkup to false.

\paper{
  indent=0\mm
  line-width=120\mm
  oddFooterMarkup=##f
  oddHeaderMarkup=##f
  bookTitleMarkup = ##f
  scoreTitleMarkup = ##f
}
