Here are some examples of chord grids. 
They cover almost every available feature so you should be able to proceed by
imitation to meet your own needs.
The first grid is typeset in ragged right style, the second in centered mode and
the third in ragged left style.
\par
Numbers displayed above chords are an example of the 'additional chord
information' feature: a second line that is typeset independently of the chords.
I personally use it to give information about scales I use upon the chords when
improvising: 1 means ionian mode, 2 is dorian mode, and so on until 7 which 
stands for the locrian mode (of the diatonic major scale). The numbers are
linked or not depending whether the scale (tone) changes or not.
\par
You are free not to use this second line at all.
