Well, word-space is set to 0.0 in the ChordName-grob.
Current definitions for the ChordName uses line-markup with
0.0-word-space at several instances.
Sometimes inserting adjusted hspace-markup where wished (see:
accidental->markup-italian and conditional-kern-before).
Also chordNameSeparator is set to a hspace-markup.

Current implementation obviously is done caring about different
horizontal spacing-wishes.
Not sure whether it's the best possible coding using zero word-space
and adjusted hspace-markups.

Honestly, I stopped any attempt to improve current situation after
"Improving ChordNames" became a GSoC-project.
