Ok I managed to fix all but one of the problems from my previous post. The only remaining problem is that in my solo section, the chords apear below the staff it applies to. If this is normal behavior, how do I manually tell them to be above the staff?

The different parts of the score are typeset vertically in the order they are first introduced in the .ly file. Since you start your \context ChordNames in the middle of the score, it therefore appear below the \context Staff. The trick to move the chords up is to start the \context Chordnames from the beginning of the score, maybe something like:

\score {
<<
\context ChordNames \chords { \skip 1*49
\repeat volta 2 { f1:m7 f:m7 g:m g:m f:m7 f2.:m7 d4:dim }
\alternative {
{ g1:m7 g:m7 }
{ g:m7 g2:m7 a:7}}}
\notes {
\notes {
\key f \major
\set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-numbers
\set Score.markFormatter = #(lambda (mark context) (make-bold-markup (make-box-markup (number->string mark))))
\relative c' {
\tempo 4=120


   \repeat "percent" 3 {
     f8 f g f16 af-> ~ af a f8 bf-> a }
  ...

will have to move up the alternate ending brackets. OR... perhaps the reason they are below is because the hieght of the brackets took priority over the chords being there, meaning they might have clashed or something. But either way, I will have to manually move both of them. So does anyone know the syntax (and where to place it, I'm a newbie) for moving the alternate ending brackets and the chord names?

There have recently been some emails on the mailing list on how to move chords above or below the alternative endings, see the archives.
