Thanks Tim. It seems that this is exactly what I need but... it does not
work for me!? I don't know why.

I have studied the chapter 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Displaying-chords#Displaying-chords
Chord name exceptions  in LilyPond snippet documentation but when I insert
the code below from documentation my OOoLilyPond (with LilyPond 2.12.1
behind) does not compile it reporting many errors in code (see picture
attached)!

% modify maj9 and 6(add9) 
% Exception music is chords with markups 
chExceptionMusic = { 
<c e g b d'>1-\markup { \super "maj9" } 
<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) 
 
theMusic = \chordmode { 
g1:maj9 g1:6.9 
\set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions 
g1:maj9 g1:6.9 
} 
 
\layout { 
ragged-right = ##t  
} 
 
<< \context ChordNames \theMusic 
\context Voice \theMusic 
>>
