When I cut and paste yours, I get this. Here is my entire file:
\version "2.16.0"
\header{
title = "c major one octave"
}
\score {
\relative {
\key c \lydian \cadenzaOn
<<
\new ChordNames {
<c e g>2 <f bes c>
<f c' e g>1
\chordmode {
c2 f:sus4 c1:/f
}
}
{
<c e g>2 <f bes c>
<f, c' e g>1
\chordmode {
c2 f:sus4 c1:/f
}
}
c1-1
^\markup {diminished scale}
d e fis g-2 a bes-3
c bes a-3 g fis-4 e d c
\bar "|."
}
\layout {
indent = 0 \mm
\context {\Score \remove Bar_number_engraver}
\context {\Staff \remove Time_signature_engraver}
}
}

When I use this snippet, pasted directly from the manual, it doesn't print
the chords and it prints the names under the staff. What do I do to get
the
printed results, which shows chords, and symbols on top of the staff?
<<
\new ChordNames {
<c e g>2 <f bes c>
<f c' e g>1
\chordmode {
c2 f:sus4 c1:/f
}
}
{
<c e g>2 <f bes c>
<f, c' e g>1
\chordmode {
c2 f:sus4 c1:/f
}
}

=================================================
I've no idea. Copying and pasting your code (with an added \relative c')
gives me the attached.
What version, OS, etc., are you using?
