Am I right, that lilypond is rarely used for my type of notation?
Meaning rock/pop tunes for acoustic guitar.

No, the style of music makes no difference. But LilyPond is intended for engraving music which is fundamentally based upon notes on the staff, and you seem to be just writing out chord progressions without a melody. LilyPond is really not designed for this. If you were writing in the melody with the chords above the staff, many of your problems would be resolved. I think that what you are trying to do is to write out lead sheets,
No he's writing chord charts--pretty common for guitarists.
