Well, no, that is not quite what I want I'm afraid. Yes, the 13th 
example is a half-diminished chord, and yes I want the default 
(Ignatzek) notation, but I don't wish to enter the pitches.

Working from:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/input/regression/out-www/lily-1185986525.ly

I can get very close with:

\chords {
c:3-.5-.7-
}

... but this does not provide Ignatzek default notation as shown on 
example thirteen from the chord-name-chart above.

(It yields Co7 instead of Co/, if you know what I mean.)

Any ideas?
