Hello Louis,
No idea about 1., but for 2. you could add the repeat percent (and
double and slash) engravers to the ChordNames context.
\chords {
\repeat percent 2 a4:m7
}
\layout {
\context {
\ChordNames
\consists "Percent_repeat_engraver"
\consists "Double_percent_repeat_engraver"
\consists "Slash_repeat_engraver"
\override ChordName.Y-offset = #-1
% delete the following two lines if you don't need barlines:
\override BarLine.bar-extent = #'(-2 . 2)
\consists "Bar_engraver"
}
}
Based on LSR snippet #993
