A common practice in lead sheets is to abbreviate chord changes when only the bass note is changed. s, <code>Cmaj7, Cmaj7/B</code> would be written as <code>Cmaj7, /B</code>, for example. There is no simple way to do this in LilyPond, but it is possible to use a whiteout hack like [http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=309 snippet #309] to accomplish the desired effect.
