Yes, it looks promising, thanks for the tip. I would like to move the
boxes up/left, but I guess I can find out how to do that myself.

chord-name-exceptions.ly was a good tip. Here is how I did it:

,----[ Minor Chords with “-” ]
| chExceptionMusic =  {
|       <c es g bes>1-\markup { "-" \super "7" }
| }
| 
| chExceptions = #(append
|                (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
|                ignatzekExceptions)
|
| harmonies = \chords {
|   \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
|
| [...]
`----

(tested with 2.10.25)

Thank you two for the useful tips! Maybe someone can give me a hint as
to how to solve my third problem; how to get the clef and Key signature
printed for the first Staff only.
