Why not use a ChordNames context? As you have written this, the chords are
just text, not really music elements.
If I were writing this, I think I'd write it as:
harpchords = \relative c' \chordmode {
\time 15/8
c2 g/b a:m s4. |
c2:maj7/b e:m/g f s4. |
...
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames \harpchords
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Harp"
\harpchords
}
>>
}
Of course, this will set the notes as well as the chord names, which you may
not want to have.
Thanks,
Carl
