My suggestion is to write a set of markup macros (`\T', `\DVII',
etc.). It definitely can't be done automatically since the
relationship between the chords is something which lilypond can't
deduce by its own. Adding a new `mode' for entering such harmonics,
probably as a variant of the numbered bass, might be an interesting
project, but I fear this is beyond your available time frame --
additionally, you need someone who is going to implement it.
I don't have time right now to help you directly (since I'm going to
vacation soon), but I think if you provide a set of such macros and
send it to the list, there are good guys who can check it for you.
