That's fine.

But imho it should not look like the current chord/chordname stuff.
Something like

\markup { \chordnametext "C13" }

would be perfect. That way, it's clearly markup, and not chords. My
worry is that if it looks like a chord, you're simply moving the
confusion elsewhere.

(And it should still work with things like

\markup { \chordnametext "C13(A13)" }

)
