parallelMusic and repeat

I'm writing a blank sheet to be used for hand writing (see attached file). The problem is that the first bar of each line is too large compared with the other bars. I guess this is due to a default padding value of some property.. I don't know which.. Any hint? I've searched in the archives but I
