LilyPond doesn't know what a tonic is, so that's not the issue. If you 
temporarily turn on stems again, you will quickly realize what is going
on. You have just made the stems transparent, but LilyPond will still 
take them into account when it tries to place other objects to avoid collisions.
Just add a 
      \override Stem #'direction = #DOWN   
to fix the problem.

Add some padding to the horizontal brackets:
      \override HorizontalBracket #'padding = #1.0
The default value is 0.2.
