I wrote too tersely, it is not the "symbols" bit rather the "compact"
bit I was referring to here. 
LilyPond only supports arranging the elements of a chord symbol (Root
Name, attributes, bass-inversion) in a fixed way, taking up an elegant
amount of space between these parts. For a compact chord symbol (for
display on a hand-held device) these need to be arranged to take up less
horizontal space. The patch currently waiting to "make it into LilyPond"
does that. You as a user still need to decide whether you want -7 or 7-
or whatever for the attributes by writing chord-exceptions.
