You may use a space:
"Am"E/D/ C3 "C"y
or a second voice, either explicit:
[V:1] E/D/ C3
[V:2 merge] "Am"x2 "C"x2
or overlayed:
E/D/ C3 & "Am"x2 "C"x2|

You cannot do it yet. It is planned in the next development branch
(2004?).

Yes, you may use annotations:
"<("">)"A
or a user defined decoration (from deco.abc):
%%postscript /opnot{
%%postscript M -6 -3 RM /Times-Roman 16 selectfont (\( \)) show}!
%%deco () 1 opnot 0 0 0
!()!A
