Hm, if I write manually, I use this notation (slash, subscript uppercase letter) for single bass notes (bass lines). AFAIK LilyPond’s chordmode can’t handle these. Is there some standard way to denote bass lines between chords? > Request for "alt" notation for chords: > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2017-02/msg00644.html > Here a chord symbol *does not correspond to a fixed set of notes*; it's > deliberately leaving a choice for the performer, making any translation to > notes and back difficult.

(Lowercase letters for minor chords needed a while to be possible with LilyPond, but they are.)
