Harm,
I read the docs as suggested by Nathan, and discovered other things of value. But the exact solution evaded me. You have suggested my next area of exploration. Looks promising. Thanks!
Bill

    Hi William,

    Have a look at
    
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/displaying-chords#customizing-chord-names,
    which contains all the info you'll need for customizing the chord
    name system.

Hi William,

Nathan already pointed you to the documented way how to customize chord names.

Though, "a:m7.5-" is already part of 'ignatzekExceptions'. You can ofcourse put it in your own wish. If you want _exactly_ the same output as for default-chords you will have some difficulties to adjust it.

Better to remove the settings for chords like "a:m7.5-" from 'ignatzekExceptions':

chExceptions =
#(remove
  (lambda (e)
   (equal?
    (car e)
    (cdr (event-chord-pitches #{ <c' ees' ges' bes'> #}))))
  ignatzekExceptions)

\new ChordNames
\chordmode {
    \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
    a:m5-.7
    a:m5-.7
}


or for one-time-use, set 'chordNameExceptions' to an empty list:


\new ChordNames
\chordmode {
    \once \set chordNameExceptions = #'()
    a:m5-.7
    a:m5-.7
}



Cheers,
  Harm
