Only Skink (which is in Java, and therefore runs on anything) I think.

A chord sequence written A E/A D/A A means something very

I'm *guessing* it means
[Acea] [A,EGBe] [A,DFAd] [Acea]
in a key signature of three sharps, but should I (or a piece
of software generating such an expansion) have to guess?

My own guess is that D/A means any combination of the notes
D F# and A in
any octaves, so long as it contains at least one of each note
and the lowest
note of all of them is an A in some octave.
Nice. This should be enough for a

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
