Hello,
there is something I don't understand. In the following example:
\version "2.12.3"
v = { c }
\chordmode { c }
\chordmode { \v }
I expected to see two times the same result, but
only the first expression yields a chord.
The second yields only one C note, and it is
surprisingly one octave d

The task is not to put a chord INTO a variable, but
to get it FROM a variable. \chordmode's argument
should be a variable (as in my example), and
\chordmode should generate its output, a chord,
from this variable.

Much accordion literature I got from my accordion school
is in a format that, for lack of a better name, I call it x/ ("x-slash")
notation. The left-hand staff consists of a single line. The bass is shown by a
diagonal cross (such as noteheads.s2cross), the chord by a diagonal line (such
