Method 2 is easier
I think you meant method 1? The one using an extra staff...

Richard

  if you want any number of chords. and easier to edit.
Add staff below or above, as you wish.
Then change properties to chord staff.
Single notes give Major chord.  Minors,  seventh etc need notes above
root.
Fill empty space, e.g. chord starting half way through 4/4 bar put in
non-printing minim rest. then minim note (s) for chord.

How do you put chord names (Em, G7) above the staff, or can't you?
There are two main methods, both are illustrated in the examples in
File->Open->Open Example

LeadSheet.denemo
LeadSheetNamedChordSymbols.denemo

In the first of these you enter the chords on an extra staff above
your
guitar part which you make into a Chord Symbols Staff (*)
In the second of these you have to enter chord names which are
attached
to notes using the command (**)

(*)
Command: Chord Symbols (Off/On)
Typesets the music on this staff as chord symbols (off/on).
Location: ObjectMenu->StaffMenu->StaffPropertiesMenu
Internal Name: ChordStaff

(**)
Command: Edit Chord Symbols
Allows chord symbols to be added to the current note. E.G.cis:dim7 for
c-sharp diminished 7th. See Lilypond docs for notation
Location: ObjectMenu->NotesRests->Markings->ChordSymbols
Internal Name: EditChords


The first method gives more flexibility in placing the symbols
horizontally, while the second takes up less space in the Denemo
Display, but requires you to know the chord names.
There is a palette for entering chords View->Select Palette to
Show->Insert or Append Chords for use with the first style of entry.
This has about 30 chord types in it, but you can add more with yet
another command ...
