Here is something that does that.  Also discussed at
http://flaminghakama.com/flaming-lilypond-chords


\version "2.18.0"
\include "english.ly"

myChordExceptions = {

  % Half-diminished
  <c eflat gflat bflat>1-\markup { m7b5 }

  % If you want to fiddle with formatting of the symbols, here is one
approach
  %<c eflat gflat bflat>1-\markup { \raise #0.2 { \magnify #0.2 { " " }
\small { m } } \raise #0.3 { \normalsize 7 } \raise #0.6 { \small b5 } }

}
chExceptions = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions
myChordExceptions #t) ignatzekExceptions)

myChordSequence = \chordmode {
  \set chordChanges = ##t
  \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
  b1:m7.5-
}

myMelody = \relative c'' {
  r4 f8 d b a4.
}

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