Tiffany,

It's quite straightforward to redefine the chord definitions.  You can
find an example of this on the LilyPond regression page. For a practical
example, you can also take a look at a lead sheet for a song my wife
wrote and typeset with LilyPond: 

http://www.songbirdofswing.com/selkirk_folio/balilli_island/lily/balilli_island.ly

Note, the above LilyPond file used version 2.1.6.  You may have to run
'convert-ly -e balilli_island.ly' to have it work with a later version.

Hope this helps.
