Hi John,

the chord algorithm of Lilypond, concerning jazz chords, is very rudimentary. 
I once wrote a patch that didn't make it into the distro, because it was very 
inelegant. At the moment I'm just adding to the 
/usr/local/share/lilypond/scm/chord-name.scm file.

Please find enclosed my momentary chord-name.scm. Here you'll find what you 
need and, additionally, you can add your chord definitions near 

;; Amy rolls her own

Hope that's any help and please let me know if you arrive at a better 
solution.

Regards, Amy
