Oh, I think I found another option:

%%%%
\version "2.25.13"

#(ly:set-option 'debug-skylines #t)
\layout {
  \context { \Score
    \override NonMusicalPaperColumn.show-horizontal-skylines = ##t
  }
  \context { \ChordNames
    \consists "Bar_engraver"
    \override BarLine.bar-extent = #'(0 . 1)
    \override BarLine.transparent = ##t
  }
}

\score {
  \new GrandStaff <<
    \new Staff \relative { c''4 c c c | c c c c }
    \new ChordNames \chordmode { c2. q8. des16:maj9 | q1 }
    \new Staff { \improvisationOn b'4 4 4 8. 16~ | 4 4 4 4 }
  >>
}
%%%%

I remembered that you can add the Bar_engraver to ChordNames.  Making 
them transparent so they do not visually interfere with the SpanBar, but 
they still take up space.
