Is there some standard way to notate complex chords like m7(b5)
7(b13)...?
No. No two people seem to be able to agree on a standard for naming
chords. (I speak from experience of trying to *propose* a naming
convention for chords that would allow ABC-to-MIDI programs to parse them.)

I think the problem isn't the ABC-to-MIDI parsing because programs like
abcMIDI allows you to define chords using
%%MIDI chordname
in the tune head.
So if you like to use an m7(b5) chord like Cm7(b5) you will need to add:
%%MIDI chordname m7(b5) 0 3 6 10
I think the problem is in the ABC-to-ABC

Lest someone thing that it's silly to have a term for chords without
a third, I might note that you can buy accordions with a gadget that

Please,
I use abcm2ps on a linux machine and it works great.
I then use ghostscript to print the resulting ps file to a laser
printer.
But how to I arrange to have a substantial margin at the top of the
printed page ? I would like to print tunes unto a page that has
already had a tune(s)
OK! Tell me what I got to do.
Thank you very much.

Check the list archives for the last debate on 'standard' chord names.
I will. Can you give me a link to these archives.
Thank you very much.

Dunno about that program, but abc2ps has used J for this ornament for
some years. Are there any other
