That makes so much more sense now! No wonder nobody else experienced the
problem you described since no ChordNames were included in your original
file. Yes, ChordNames (and FretBoards, as David K. mentioned) produces
sound, too! And it automatically assumes the default sound, which is a
piano. You can turn off any context's midi instrument like this:
\new ChordNames \with { midiInstrument = ##f }
that way you don't need to deal with the synthesizer to turn things on/off.
