Thank you Mats. \override ChordName #'font-size = #6 Worked fine. I also found its reference in the "lilypond program-reference" under the ChorName object.
I now have a problem of the padding/space between the Chord names & staves which is the space seperating the Chord names & the staves above & below them. I tried \override ChordName #'padding = #-1 & \override ChordName #'bound-padding = #-1 But both didn't work. Thank you.
