try the chords mode docs:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.7/Documentation/user/lilypond/Chords-mode.html

the suffix :maj gives the Major 7th chord. you could also try just
adding :7+ to the cord, that has the same effect.

see 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.7/input/regression/collated-files.html#chord-name-major7.ly
for changing the symbol for maj7 chords (by default a white triangle).
