The chord notation c/a stands for "c major triad with an a in bass". Generally,
you can write "chord / bass note" with this construction, "bass note" being the
operative word here. So your c/a example works but c:7 / a:7 is actually a
polychord construct. There's a way to do this in Lilypond (you'll have to
google it or check the snippets repository) but it's not straightforward or -
to my knowledge - yet built into the current LP releases.
