You can have entirely different music expressions in the ChordNames context than in the Voice context. You just keep the spacing the same, and enter your chords in the ChordNames context using the guidelines from the manual. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/A-lead-sheet.html#A%20lead%20sheet shows how to make the notes separate from the chords. Click on the last music example in your browser, and you'll see the lilypond source for the example.
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Chords-mode.html#Chords%20mode gives full instructions for how to generate more complex chord names, but all of the examples on this page show the chords being used to give notes, rather than chord names. If you'll use the chord notations as given on the second page listed above, but put them in the ChordNames context as shown in the first page listed above, you'll get the fancy chord names. And then you can put whatever music you'd like to show up on the staff in the Voice context. I think that will give you what you're looking for.
