An alternative solution is to use the alignAboveContext property. In your
example this amounts to
....
\score {
\new Staff = mystave \relative {
\clef treble
\time 4/4
\key a \minor
...
<<
\new ChordNames \with{alignAboveContext = "mystave" }
\chordmode{a'1:m7 a1:m7 a1:m7 a1:m7}
{\sl b,4 b4 b4 b4
...

I am trying to do something that I think would be quite
common, placing chord names for a solo
in the middle of a song. Following the lilypond
documentation on ChordNames and \chordmode,
I came up with the code shown below. The problem is that
the chord names appear below the
staff. In all of the examples shown in the lilypond documentation,
the chord names appear
above the staff, and that is what I want. What am I doing wrong?
Please help if you can.
The reason the Chord names appear below the staff is you are adding a new staff
(the chord staff) partway through the piece. You'll get what you want if you
put the chord staff in parallel with your music starting from the first measure.
See below.
