Hi Helgi!
To make something like a D7 chord symbol, simply type d(note length
if necessary:7 . The colon separates the note value that produces
the chord from the additions made to it. It IS fairly well
documented in the manual. So Em becomes e:m, and an E minor
seventh becomes e:m7. a diminished chord would be e:dim. If you
want a certain bass note, do this: d:a (D/A bass). Hope that
gives you enough to go on.
If the length of the note needs to be indicated (because it changes
with this note, put that right after the initial letter, thus: d1:7
Thank you Gordon!
I did find the 7 chord solution in an example file on the net, but
not in the otherwise fabulous documentation. Thanks for the hints,
will come handy now when I'm starting over with Lilypond after a
couple of years rest.
Cheers,
Helgi Örn
