Hi Witold,

the global \layout block is the correct place:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\layout {
  % this was already present:
  \context {
    \Lyrics
    \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #-1
  }
  % this is new:
  \context {
    \ChordNames
    \germanChords
    chordNameLowercaseMinor = ##t
  }
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The \context block contains the name of the context (ChordNames) and all 
\overrides and \sets that should affect all contexts of that kind. The 
\set command has to be omitted.

HTH,
Malte
