IIRC in previous versions I could reduce the distance between a
staff and chord symbols by this command:
\set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-4 . 1)
In 2.8.1 this is:
\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-4 . 1)
or did I get something wrong?
Reducing the space this way dos not work here, increasing does work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you

You can see what the required code is here; you can also see a bug
related to it:

In short, you need to set minimum-Y-extent to false, and then set
Y-extent to an absolute value instead. But you may encounter
stem-length errors on beamed notes. As far as I can tell, this
problem has not yet been addressed, even in CVS. The bug was
introduced when the VerticalAxisGroup interface was added to the
Staff context about midway through the 2.7 development cycle.
