If you don't need MIDI output from your Ly file, you can put invisible
rests into the chords:
% -------------------------------
\version "2.19.83"
<<
\new ChordNames \chordmode {
c1
s4 f s s
}
\new Staff \relative c' {
\repeat unfold 8 {c4}
}
>>
% -------------------------------
Am I right that you don't want the chord symbols you've put in parentheses?
If you want an output like | C | (C) F | you can write
c1 \parenthesize c4 f2.
Cheers,
Klaus
