Well, in 2.20 you could distastefully cheat your way around using

\version "2.18.2"
#(ly:set-option 'midi-extension "midi")

\score {
   <<
        \new StaffGroup 
        <<
  \new Staff {
            \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Variciones"
            \set Staff.midiInstrument = #"acoustic grand"
            \clef "bass"
            \override Score.MetronomeMark.self-alignment-X = 1.5
            \override Score.MetronomeMark.Y-offset = 3.5
            \override Score.BarNumber.break-visibility = ##(#f #f #f)
            \time 4/4
            \numericTimeSignature
            \tempo 4 = 70
     
            \chordmode {
           
c,,1:3.5.8\tweak direction #UP _\markup Hi  c,,2:3.5.8 d,,2:3.5.8 e,,4:3.5.8 
f,,2:3.5.8/+c  r4   \bar "|." 
              
         }
  }
      >>     
   >>

\layout { indent = #15  }   
\midi { }

}

In short: the design of chord syntax did not really think all too much
about what may happen to ^ and - in the process.
