Hi Rob,


First of all, there's no need for
   \repeat unfold 12 { s1 }
It's much simpler to write s1*12

Apart from that, and I suppose that's what you wanted, you can get by just
having to declare \chordmusic and use this definition both in ChordNames and
in Staff:

\chordmode cannot only be used for printing ChordNames, because "inside",
it's ordinary music, that also can be put into an ordinary Staff.
*And here's the trick*: If you use NullVoice, \chordmusic is just used for
rhythmic alignment and will not print any music.


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"

chordmusic = \chordmode {
        \repeat percent 4 { f1:7 }                            \break
        \repeat percent 2 { bes1:7} \repeat percent 2 { f1:7} \break
        \repeat percent 2 { c1:7}   \repeat percent 2 { f1:7} 
}

\score {
  << 
    \new ChordNames { \chordmusic }
    \new Staff \new NullVoice { \chordmusic }
  >>

  \layout {
    indent = #0
    \context {
        \ChordNames
        \consists "Percent_repeat_engraver"
        \override PercentRepeat.extra-offset = #'(0 . 1)            
         
    }   
  }
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


HTH,
Torsten


PS: \relative around \chordmode does not make much sense here
