If you really want it spelled out for a player program then you write it
with ties:
"G7"cBAB |1 "C"c2-"F"c2-"C"c4 :|2 "C"c2-"F"c2-"C"c4 |]
You have to decide whether you are writing for a machine or writing for a
human. (The former is a bit of a mugs game - done far too much of it and
they never say "thank you").

Well, yes - in a way,
What you do is that you include all the chord symbols for a single note
within one pair of "'s like this:
"G7"cBAB |1 "C F C"c8 :|2 "C F C"c8 |]
Then you can use multiple spaces between the chord symbols to get the
alignement you want.
Crude, but it works.
