That's admittedly a bit tricky to figure out yourself. Using the default 
definitions
of the header layout as a starting point, I managed to come up with
\paper{
 ...
evenHeaderMarkup = \markup
\fill-line {
 %% force the header to take some space, otherwise the
 %% page layout becomes a complete mess.
 " "
 \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty 
#'page:page-number-string
 " "
}
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup
\fill-line {
 %% force the header to take some space, otherwise the
 %% page layout becomes a complete mess.
 " "
 \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty 
#'page:page-number-string
 " "
}
}

Do you mean distance between different lines (systems) of a score or 
between
different scores (or between different staves within each system if you 
have multiple
instruments)?
