Since that's not standard notation practice for ordinary scores, I guess
the easiest solution is simply to add an upbeat which just contains
a spacer rest, i.e. an invisible note.:
\partial 8 s8 | f1:maj ...
just remember to add the corresponding spacer rest in any other staves
so the rhythm matches.

You specify the duration of each chord exactly the same way as the
duration of normal notes, see "7.2.2 Chords mode".

They are handled by yet another engraver, so you need to do
\new ChordNames \with{
 ...
\consists "Percent_repeat_engraver"
}

Then you can use the \repeat percent 3 {...} command as usual, see
"6.7.7 Measure repeats".
