If you use \set chordRootNamer = #(lambda (x) "-") you will not get any syntax errors, you don't get any syntax errors but you get a somewhat unexpected output. If you, in addition, set \set chordNoteNamer = #note-name->markup the result is somewhat more similar to what you want (by default it

1) I believe that you will have to enter the Fm again so that it will show up as Fm/Eb (f:m/eb). I have done it this way. I have not seen it done the way that you describe before in any commercially printed music. I am only a little familiar with Finale and not at all with Sibelius but I wo
