Cf. NR 1.6.2 Modifying single staves


\version "2.13.60"

\score {

     \relative c'' {

       % lot of stuffs going on before
       a1 c

           a1 c

         \new ChordNames \with {
           alignAboveContext = "main"
         } {
           \chordmode {
             a1 c
           }
         }
