By the way, if the first chord, the correct version:
    G - F - Cb - Eb - G - Bb
is supposed to be reproduced exactly how it is, it must be spelled 'Eb
over G7'.

Thanks for the ongoing discussion about this!! I'm learning a lot from you all! Okay - so it's appropriate to actually put a "double decker" chord symbol, such as Eb/G7? Is this common practice these days?! Just never heard of doing that :)


Nah, no need to do it that way. Pianists get a cue for how to voice it, but everyone else gets slowed down. Replace "must be spelled" with "could be spelled" and you have it.

G7(b13#9) by modern standards or more traditionally G7(#9#5) are the standard ways to spell it, always with the higher number stacked over the lower number inside parentheses.
