Re: Chords on top of each other: example.

This is a bug in the text markup mechanism, which is 
used when typesetting the chords. The problem is that
the horizontal extent of superscripts and subscripts
is ignored by Lilypond when it calculates the spacing.
This was probably introduced so that you get subscripts
and superscripts below each other if you have both.

One possible workaround is to play with the 
properties extra-X-extent or word-space.
I tried to add the following setting for ChordNamesContext
ChordName \override #'extra-X-extent = #'(0 . 4)
which fixes the problem but also affects the spacing
for the rest of the score. you may want to set it 
locally at the place in the score where you get the
problems.

The next time you send a question, please follow the
advice on bug reporting in the Manual and send a
small example file, not a full score if possible.
