\version "2.17.24"

chordException = {
  <c es ges bes>-\markup { \super "m7b9" }
}
  
chExceptions = #( append
                   ( sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chordException #t )
                   ignatzekExceptions
                   )
\new ChordNames {
  <c es ges bes>    
  \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
  <c es ges bes>
}
