Hm, if I write manually, I use this notation (slash, subscript uppercase letter)
for single bass notes (bass lines).
AFAIK LilyPond’s chordmode can’t handle these.
Is there some standard way to denote bass lines between chords?

I would manually write C/a if I want to let the player chose between c major
and a minor.
(Lowercase letters for minor chords needed a while to be possible with
LilyPond, but they are.)
