house chord style - global?

greetings!

i have implemented some changes to chord markup symbols, using the method shown 
at 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-big-page#Customizing-chord-names
  --- i've got this in a house-style.ly, which i \include at the beginning of 
each lilypond file:

% Exception music is chords with markups
chExceptionMusic = {
  <c e g b >1-\markup { \super "maj7" }
  <c e g b d'>1-\markup { \super "maj9" }
  <c e g b d' f'>1-\markup { \super "maj11" }
  <c e gis bes>1-\markup { \super "7alt" }
  <c e g a d'>1-\markup { \super "6(add9)" }
}
% Convert music to list and prepend to existing exceptions.
chExceptions = #( append
  ( sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
  ignatzekExceptions)

i also wish to have chord symbols only notated when they change. normally, to 
implement that and the chord symbol modifications, i must put this in any 
\chords blocks which occur in any ly files:

\set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions 
\set chordChanges = ##t

that all works fine, but i'm wondering if there is some way of setting 
chordNameExceptions and chordChanges globally, in the house-style.ly file, 
instead of having to \set it in every \chords block of every score.

cheers!
