See:

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=735

and

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=736

another example

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=575

more complex

I think best and most comfortable is using the new multi-mark-engraver by Neil Puttock.

Searching in the archives I found some helpful functions by Gilles Thibault.
-> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-01/msg00588.html
-> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-01/msg00628.html

If you add \accepts "ChordNames" to the RhythmicStaff they will work. (To be complete I added the deleteFirstNote-function, although it isn't used in the snippet below)

Finally I append my own chordAlign-function.
