Don't know about this; you might need to set a barNumber_engraver property
or something.

Minor chords are _meant_ to be printed that way (i.e. with an 'm'). The
no3 you're getting is because you're inverting a chord to get the third in
the bass and lilypond is moving that note. "C/E" will yield Cno3 (with E
bass). To avoid this, use "C/+E" which will add the bass note.

In your \paper section, try this:

        \paper {
                ...     % other stuff
                \translator {
                        \ChordNamesContext
                        ChordName \override #'word-space = #1
                }
        }

That's because "chords" is a reserved keyword in lilypond.

In the score section, when you insert the chords, use:

        \context ChordNames \chords {
                \property ChordNames.instrument = "harpsichord"
                \myChords
        }

Hope this helps,
