The way to customize chord symbols is covered in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/displaying-chords#customizing-chord-names

Under the heading "Selected Snippets, Chord name exceptions"


Here is how to get the Dominant 13th chord to show up as "13".


\version "2.19.15"

myChordExceptions = {
  <c e g bes d' a'>1-\markup { \raise #0.7 { \normalsize 13 } }
}
chExceptions = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions
myChordExceptions #t) ignatzekExceptions)

chordSequence = \chordmode {
    \set chordChanges = ##t
    \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
    a2:7
    c2:13
}

myMelody = \relative c' { cis8 d e g a4-. g8-> b~-_ }

\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \new ChordNames \chordSequence
    \new Staff {
      \myMelody
    }
  >>
}


HTH,
