Now I have a solution, which is not perfect, but at least as a first 
attempt:

\version "2.12.2"

NC = \markup { \lower #0.5 { \sans \fontsize #1  "N.C." } }


\score { <<
    \context ChordNames
    \with { \consists "Rest_engraver"
            \override Rest #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
            \override Rest #'text = #NC
     } {
         \chordmode { c1
         a:m
         r2 g2
         f1
         c4 r2.}
     }
     \context Voice \relative c' {
         c4 d e g
         a b a e
         es4. es8 d2
         f1
         e1 }
