Sorry, I tried it,
\chords { a:m7.5- }
but I did not get what I hope.
I have someting like this same appearence:
Aº , except that the little "º" looks like this: ø
Is there another solution?
With regards,

Too lazy to fix the top-posting- see comments below.

Hey, that's not an exotic chord, that's the common half-diminished
one.
Use normal chord syntax.
\chords { a:m7.5- }

Not exactly.
I can't find a way to write in full "Am7b5".
And if I find a way, I'd like to write "Am on one level, and 7b5 a

higher.
Maybe this is something for you.

It's a little tricky because your entry will be converted to a lyric
context
to create chords now but what you want is easily achieved, just type
a-"m7f5" .
The solution is to use chord exceptions, as I explained in another
post which I managed to not send to the list but did send to you
directly.

You can modify this to change the m7b5/half-diminished chord (the
Lilypond default for this is Aø which is correct, a common notation
used in jazz charts; but many people prefer to have m7b5 spelled out).
Alternatively you can use a whole list of chord exceptions and use
\include to make use of it. I append the one I use, given to me by
James Hammons (I hope he doesn't mind). Copy this in to a file
called pop-chords.ly and then put
\include "path/to/pop-chords.ly"
replacing the path/to/ part with the actual path to wherever you have
put the pop-chords.ly file.
Here is the file:
