"If I were you, I wouldn't start from here."


The approach of the Scheme snippet you have selected is extremely 
blinkered, catering only for combinations of root pitches.
It bypasses the Lilypond code for mode and modifiers.
And a warning: polychordExceptionMusic will explode combinatorially.

So to go the Lilypond/Scheme way, you should keep the two chords 
separate for as long as possible, and 'just' combine the resulting 
stencils.


My advice:  Don't try.  Write markup for overriding the 'text property.
