Tricky one! I send a copy to bug-lilypond, both since the difference between \chords and \chordmode is completely undocumented (except for the NEWS file for 2.4) and since I don't realize why the chords end up below the stave.
I stripped down your example to the following, where the chords still are printed below the staff.
\version "2.4.0"
melody = \relative c'' {
a4 a8 a g4 g |
f2 f |
}guitar = \new ChordNames \chordmode {
f2 c |
f1 |
}\score {
<<
\new ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\guitar
} \new Staff \context Voice = mel {
\melody
}
>>
}
Note that I replaced '\chords' with '\new ChordNames \chordmode' (which is equivalent) in an attempt to understand what's going on.
The chords will move up above the stave if you do at least one of the following:
- Replace 'guitar = \new ChordNames \chordmode' with 'guitar = \chordmode'
- Move the property setting of chordChanges into
guitar = \new ChordNames \chordmode {...}/Mats

I've attached a couple of stripped down files that don't seem to work. (I had parts for other instruments in the original, but the problem still happens when I removed them.) I appreciate you taking the time to examine my problem. Hoping you can spot my mistake.

Please send a small but complete example file that illustrates the problem. I tried to just make up some values for all the identifiers that you hadn't specified below and the chords are printed nicely on top of the stave, so there's nothing wrong with the part of the code that you sent.

I used to get chordnames printing above the staff, but now they
always, always print below. Nothing I try to change seems to have
any effect on the position whatsover. I've searched the entire
archive, but all to no avail. Hoping desperately someone can help. This is the third time I've tried to solve the problem, and it's
taken 3 hours of absolute frustration.
I'm using Win XP Pro SP2 with lilypond 2.4.2 (can't bear to change the version again as it took ages last time to get things sorted, and it works ok, except for this problem).
I've parts all in a separate file and an include line which works fine. Here's my score section. I'm looking for chords on top, melody line next, lyrics below this, and piano staff at the bottom. It all works fine until I add the chords - they always go to the bottom, never the top.
\score {
<<
\context ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\guitar
}
\context Voice = mel { \set Staff.instrument = #"Melody"
\set Staff.instr = #"Mel"
\global \Key \melody }
\lyricsto "mel" \new Lyrics \text
\context PianoStaff = "piano" \piano
>>

\context {
