Do you mean a C#dim7 or C#m7(b5)? There is no C#7dim, for very
good reasons. Regards, Rale

C#7dim is incorrect. It would have to be C#m7b5. C#dim7 uses
the little "o". C#m7b5 uses the same "o" with a slash through it.
One has a minor 7th interval, the other a diminished 7th 
interval. There is no shortcut for the C#7b5 if that is
what you meant. Regards, Rale

C#7dim is not correct. The standard name is C#m7b5. Not elegant,
but unambiguous as concerns the minor 7th or dim. 7th interval.
It is called a leading tone seventh or a half-diminished 7th.

The symbol is a little "o" like the dim/dim7 but with a 
slash / through it.

Best to avoid all symbols if you can.

It's always been C#dim or C#dim7. C#7dim would indicate
a leading tone or "half diminished" seventh, which is
not what you apparently want. Regards, Rald

Yes, you can modify the appearance of chord symbols by adding "chord
exceptions" to your chordmode expressions.

For a fuller discussion of this, see my blog post
http://flaminghakama.com/flaming-lilypond-chords


I agree with Rald that "C#dim7" is typical.

However, I'm not sure I would interpret what you want, "C#7dim", the same
way he does.  I would probably interpret that as you intend, not
half-diminished.  But I would also not suggest it.


Regardless, here is how to accomplish what you want:


\version "2.19.15"

myChordExceptions = {

  % Diminished
  1-\markup { 7dim }
}
chExceptions = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions
myChordExceptions #t) ignatzekExceptions)

myChordSequence = \chordmode {
  \set chordChanges = ##t
  \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
  b1:1.3-.5-.7-
}

myMelody = \relative c'' {
  r4 f8 d b aes4.
}

\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<
\new ChordNames \myChordSequence
\new Staff {
  \myMelody
}
  >>
}

This is different but obviously working

%

\version "2.19.25"

% Exception music is chords with markups
chExceptionMusic = {
  1-\markup { \super "dim7" }
}

% Convert music to list and prepend to existing exceptions.
chExceptions = #( append
  ( sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
  ignatzekExceptions)


theMusic = \chordmode {
  cis1:dim7
  \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
  cis1:dim7
}

\layout {
  %ragged-right = ##t
}

<< \context ChordNames \theMusic
   \context Voice \theMusic
