\musicparskip is actually a macro - it simply sets \parskip to 0pt plus 
5\Interligne minus \Interligne. In your document, all it's doing is formalising 
the stretch between the staves and eliminating the underfull \vbox warning. On 
my system (I put an \hrule at the start and end of the document to see) I'm 
getting balanced spacing at the top and bottom. If you insert a 
\null\vskip\parskip at the top then you get much more space at the top - if 
that's what you're after.

AFAIK, musixtex typesets each stave in a single paragraph - so setting \parskip 
simply provides an additional piece of control over the vertical layout (it's 
covered briefly in the manual)
