A common practice in lead sheets is to abbreviate chord changes when only the bass note is changed. s, Cmaj7, Cmaj7/B would be written as Cmaj7, /B, for example. There is no simple way to do this in LilyPond, but it is possible to use a whiteout hack like snippet #309 to accomplish the desired effect.
\version "2.24"
%% http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=776
% Maybe I'll write a Scheme function for this, when I learn how...
slashBMusic = {
<c e g>1-\markup { \hspace #-2 \whiteout "/B" }
}
slashB = #(sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions slashBMusic #t)
slashAMusic = {
<c e g>1-\markup { \hspace #-2 \whiteout "/A" }
}
slashA = #(sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions slashAMusic #t)
\score { <<
\new ChordNames \chordmode {
c1:maj7 |
\set chordNameExceptions = #slashB c |
\set chordNameExceptions = #slashA c |
}
\new Staff \relative c'' {
c4 c c c | c c c c | c c c c |
}
>> }
