In NR B.2 Common chord modifiers, I think the line with:

Clearly maj7.5- is *not* a minor-major seventh chord so that's a
good catch.
The syntax that seems most logical to me is to call it what it is:
a minor triad with an added major seventh rather than a major
seventh with a lowered third: m7.7+ which is what I use in my .ly
files (I am using an \include chord exceptions file, though, so I
don't know offhand if m7.7+ will produce the desired result with
LilyPond's defaults.
m7.7+ does provide the desired results, though I believe it's because
lilypond uses only the last alteration of a particular note (ie. 7.9+.
9- will end up 7/b9 and lose the sharp nine). This behavior might
change (?), if I remember the tenor of that discussion, so we probably
shouldn't rely on it forever..
m.7+ seems more logical to me, but resulted in " error: syntax
error, unexpected '.' " for me. Guess we can't alter a minor triad.
BTW it would also be more likely to find a maj7.11+ rather than a
maj7.5- among jazz musicians at least.
