The manual includes a direct example of how to change the minimum
vertical spacing allocated to a Staff. To specify a fixed vertical
space for the Staff, just use the same syntax but with the property
called Y-extent instead of minumum-Y-extent. Here is a full example,
which shows both advantages and disadvantages of doing what you ask
for.
\version "2.8.0"
<<\new ChordNames \chordmode { c4:7 c4:7 c4:7 c4:7 }
\new Staff {
\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'Y-extent = #'(-4 . 4)
c'^"Some text" c''^"Some more text" c''' c'''' }

In contrast to the previous people who answered the questions, I
would say that you cannot directly apply the same idea to move
a whole line of chords. See

for a hint on how to solve the problem.
Thanks for the reply Mats, I've checked the post and followups, and
had a look at the manual page and reference, but to be honest I don't
really understand how to approach this, even with that information.
Is there a specific command I can use to enable this?
