I think you mean "exclusively in the ChordNames context", rather than
"exclusively in chord mode"

I think you can redefine alteration->text-accidental-markup  (it's found in
scm/chord-name.scm.

I don't think that you need to edit scm/chord-name.scm.  A definition in
your input file should redefine the existing procedure.
