      You can always cut away all the logic with
      
      \version "2.22.2"
      
      myChordNames = {
        \once \override ChordName.text = \markup { C \super "6-9" }
        <c e g a d'>1
      }
      
      <<
        \new ChordNames \myChordNames
        \new Staff \myChordNames
      >>
      
      
      If you need this often, you can shorten it:
      
      
      \version "2.22.2"
      
      t = \once \override ChordName.text = \etc
      
      myChordNames = {
        \t \markup { C \super "6-9" }
        <c e g a d'>1
      }
      
      <<
        \new ChordNames \myChordNames
        \new Staff \myChordNames
      >>
      
      
      Does that suffice for your use case?
      
      Best,
      Jean
