Hi,

putting the "Stanza_number_engraver" into ChordNames-context will work:

\version "2.16.1"

\layout {
  \context {
     \ChordNames
     \consists "Stanza_number_engraver"
  }
}

chrds = \chordmode {
  f d:m f d:m
}

mel = \relative c' {
  f d f d
}

<<
  \new ChordNames {
    \set stanza = \markup \normal-text "Capo III"
    \transpose f d \chrds
  }
  \new ChordNames {
    \set stanza = \markup \normal-text "chords"
    \chrds
  }
  \new Staff \mel
>>


HTH,
  Harm
