Subject: \chordmode problem?

Hello folks,

I get this score:

from what seems to be the reasonable LP code below.

What should one write to get:

Thanks if you can help!

Just following up, since it seems no one gave you an explicit solution for how to realize your intended chord name.

While "Cmaj7#11" is a totally reasonable way to name this chord, I'd disagree that it is ideal to typeset it vertically aligned to baseline and using all the same size characters, as you suggest. 

Here is one way of doing it, which does attempt to customize the size and position of the chord symbol elements.

\version "2.19.15"

myChordExceptions = {
    <c e g b fis'>1-\markup { \raise #0.7 { \teeny "maj" } \raise #0.2 \normalsize "7" \raise #0.5 { \tiny "#11" } }
}
chExceptions = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions myChordExceptions #t) ignatzekExceptions)

myChordSequence = \chordmode {
  \set chordChanges = ##t
  \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
  c1:maj7.11+
}

myMelody = \relative c' {
  b8 c e g fis2
}

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