I use the include file below for Brandt-Roemer-style chord names, which will
typeset the minor 7, flat 5 the way you (and I) would expect, assuming you
meant to say "half-diminished". (Or at least you can use it as a starting point
for further tweaking.)
Now, I wish I knew how to make the accidentals in chord names a bit smaller
than their default size, and shift their baseline a bit.
