The end result would be like in the attached code but instead of the text being 
attached to the note, I would like it to be attached to the chord name.


\version "2.24.4"


melody = \relative c' {

    b'1^"0 2 2 0 0 0"

}


myChords = \chordmode {

    e1:m

}



\score {

  <<

    \new ChordNames \myChords

    \new Staff \melody

  >>

    \layout {

       \override TextScript.font-size = -2

       \override TextScript.color = #blue

       \override TextScript.X-offset = #-2

       \textLengthOn

    }

}

Hello, I'm trying to place a short text with a chord symbol. I can work around 
this by attaching the text to a note, but that's not my goal. Here's an exemple 
what I'm trying to do:

   CMaj7

x 3 5 4 5 x

This text represents the fingering of the CMaj7 at the 3rd fret of the guitar.


It would be great to be able to have annotations in the boxes of a harmonic 
grid.


I searched the manual and found nothing. Many thanks for your help.

Do you want actual fretboards?   LilyPond can do that:

%%%
\version "2.24.4"

\include 
"predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly<http://predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly>"

myChords = \chordmode {
  a fis:m d e b:m
}

\score {
  <<
    \new ChordNames { \myChords }
    \new FretBoards { \myChords }
  >>
}
%%%
