Is there anyway to require a minimum measure length for chordmode?
This particular simplified example I would like the measures even with a 
short lyric (or even no lyric to have a minimum length). Otherwise it 
can be a bit misleading visually. I could manual insert \break every few 
measures and that sort of works but seems like extra work that shouldn't 
need to be one.
Actually... Second question is there any way to scoot the bar line over 
so it is not on top of the last word of the previous measure?

Thanks, Walt North

\version "2.24.4"

\layout {
  \context {
    \ChordNames
    \override BarLine.bar-extent = #'(0 . 2)
    \override BarLine.hair-thickness = #3
    \consists "Bar_engraver"
  }
  \context {
    \Lyrics
    \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  }
}
theChords = \chordmode {
  c1 c c c c c c c
}

theLyrics = \lyricmode {
  a1 tesssssst of2 some mesasureleeength1 x
}

\score {
  <<
    \new ChordNames \theChords
    \new Lyrics \theLyrics
  >>
}
