You can't have searched very thoroughly, this topic has
been discussed several times on the mailing lists.
There are two main solutions for you:
- Update to version 2.11.x where the voltas appear
 above the chord names by default. Although 2.11 is an
 "unstable development" version, I would still classify it
 as at least as good as 2.10 if you want to do serious
 typesetting.
- Take a look at the "volta-chord-names.ly" example
 in the Tips and Tricks document in the documentation
 for version 2.10.

There was a short thread on this topic in Feb-March 2003 ("Chords under voltas?"), apparently unresolved, and I could find no more recent discussion of this topic.

I am using Lilypond to produce jazz leadsheets. Lilypond prints chord symbols above volta lines. This is most unorthodox and disconcerting--the symbols should be above the staff but below the volta. I am using 2.10.29.

Is there a workaround, or should this be reported as a bug?

Thanks,
-Eric
