Not really what you wish, less typing, though:
\version "2.19.13"
addMarkup =
#(define-music-function (parser location nmbr mrkp)((number? 0) markup?)
#{
\once \override ChordName.before-line-breaking =
#(lambda (grob)
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text
#{
\markup
\override #'(direction . -1)
\dir-column {
$(ly:grob-property grob 'text)
\translate #(cons nmbr 0)
\override #'(font-family . serif) #mrkp
}
#}))
#})
\new ChordNames \chordmode {
\override ChordName.extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . -0.1)
\addMarkup 5 "Wir stecken doch al"
d
\addMarkup "le in einem K"
fis:m/cis
\addMarkup "artenhaus,"
b:m
d:/a \break
\addMarkup 5 "das sich Leben nen"
g
\addMarkup "nt und schau’n zum F"
b:7/fis
\addMarkup "enster raus."
e:m
}
\paper {
indent = 0
ragged-right = ##t
}
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
}
}
HTH,
