Re: Lead sheet examples?

[Mats Bengtsson]

For the record, the answer to your original question can also be found in
an example in the Tips and Tricks document (I'm sure it's included in the
LilyPond Snippet Repository as well).

To reduce the spacing, you can do
 \new ChordNames \with {
   chordChanges = ##t
   voltaOnThisStaff = ##t
   \override VoltaBracket #'minimum-space =#0
   } { ... }

The default value for minimum-space is 5, which makes sense for ordinary
staves, but clearly not for chords.
