I’m using LibreOffice on my iMac, with OOolilypond.oxt installed.

In order to get LilyPond output into the current LibreOffice Writer document, I 
have to open up the OOoLilyPond editor via Tools=>Add-Ons=>OooLilyPond.

This brings up a default template, with some example LilyPond source text, 
which I can get LilyPond to process using the “LilyPond” button.

I haven’t studied this for several years, but if I remember correctly, I had to 
create my own template to get what I wanted. Certainly, if I copy-and-paste 
your text in place of the source code that comes up by default I get errors.

I think you will have to create a new template yourself, if all you want is to 
display chord diagrams which you have specified yourself string-by-string.

On the other hand, it might be worth looking at the Template called “Fret 
Board”, which generates chord symbols directly from chord names.
