You cannot define a macro (or identifier or whatever you want to
call it) that does not contain a complete expression. Since the syntax
for \new is something like
\new <ContextType> \with <ContextSettings> <Music>
it means that you have to include also the music itself in the
\blankchords in order to get a correct syntax.
I recommend that you instead look at Section "9.1.5 Changing
context default settings" in the manual for a more convenient
way to obtain what you want to do.
Also, please always tell what LilyPond version you use when
asking questions on the mailing list.
