I assign my fret markup to variables like this:
frIFDomSevFltNinI = \markup { \center-align {
\line { F \super \line { 7 \raise #0.5 \flat 9 } }
\fret-diagram-terse #"2;x;1;2;1;x;"
} }
frICI = \markup { \center-align {
\line { C \super \line { } }
\fret-diagram-terse #"x;3;2;o;1;o;"
} }
frIIDDimSevIII = \markup { \center-align {
\line { D \super \line { dim7 } }
\fret-diagram-terse #"x;x;3;4;3;4;"
} }
etc...
And I keep them all in a separate \include file.
Then I simply re-state those variables in a Lyrics Staff above the music
Staff with the duration number behind the variable names. By using an
\include file I can get some re-useablity of my fret board markups, and over
time build up a chord library.
Here is an example of an arrangement I did that uses this technique:

For the markup shown above make sure the Lyric Text context sets the word
spacing to a small value like .1 otherwise the letters will be too spread
out.
LyricText #'word-space=0.1
