In pl16, probably.
However, i came accross a small problem.
A chord is represented internally as a list of pitches. When my routine
in chord-name-engraver.cc tries to determine the name of the chord, there
are ambiguities, e.g. between C6 and Am7/C? I solved this for now, by
requiring the boolean \property "chordInversions" set to 1, to have the
Chord_name_engraver find and display inversions.
