Hi!

To achieve exactly what you want a combination of

  – no indent (indent = #0) ;
  – proportional notation (each measure takes the same horizontal
    space) ;
  – strict-note-spacing (because previous was not sufficient)  AND
  – ragged-right = ##t (because your 4th line has one measure more and
    you want bar lines to be aligned)

seems necessary.

Like this:


\version "2.12.3"

\paper {
  indent = #0
  ragged-right = ##t
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
    proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)
    \override SpacingSpanner #'strict-note-spacing = ##t
  }
}

\score {
  \new ChordNames \with {
    \consists Bar_engraver
    \override BarLine #'bar-size = #4
    \consists "Volta_engraver"
  }
  {
    \chordmode {
      g1 d2:7 c2 g1 c2 d2:7 \break
      g1 e1:m g1 e1:m \break
      b1:m c1 c1 a1 a1 \break
      g1 c2 d2:7 g1 c2 d2:7 \break
      g1 c2 d2:7 g1 c2 d2:7 \break
    }
  }
}


Cheers,
Xavier
