Hello,
As stated in the documentation, \chords { … } is a shortcut notation for
\new ChordNames \chordmode { … }.
NR 2.7.2 Displaying chords > Printing chord names
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/displaying-chords.html#printing-chord-names
So if you are using \new ChordNames, then replace \chords by \chordmode in
your file and all your problems are solved.
Here you are creating a new ChordNames context with the \chords command,
which explains why your \set chordChanges = ##t is not working (applied to
the "previous" ChordNames context). Same explanation for the chords
appearing below the Staff. For the #ly:one-page-breaking PDF generation
problem I do not have an explanation but you do not provide more infos
either.
Cheers,
Xavier
