There are quite a few ways in which you could make your life easier here, I

1. You should be able to use variables for chords - you didn't put the
contents of Chords.ly in your email so I can't see why it didn't work; a
definition like this works ok:
gDown = { <gis dis' gis' b' dis'' gis''>4 \downbow }
Once the chord is in a variable you can't then attach markup to it later
(and you have to put the \downbow in the definition too).
Sure you can:
<< { s<x>^\markup{ ... } } { ... \gDown ... } >>
Where <x> is some time value. If you want to move the markup relative
to gDown just add more "s" values before s<x>.
This may also work for the downbow but I don't have time to research it
right not. (Playing the clarinet for "Rhapsody in Blue" in a couple of
hours).
