Three newbie questions

Hi

I have a couple of questions, that I couldn't figure out in the documentation.

1) If I have a set of chords that I'd like to be printed like this:
Fm  -/Eb  Bb/D
how do I then get the dash ("-") symbol (meaning "repeat the previous chord, now with Eb in the bass"?

2) I'm danish, and we write "H" instead of "B". How do I get lilypond to write "H" in a chord instead of "B".

3) When writing a song with lyrics, for instance a Christmas carol, there a alot of additional verses. I read "7.3.9.4 Printing stanzas at the end" on http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-big-page#Vocal-music, but that a) seems cumbersome b) doesn't seem to allow spacing between verses and c) is in one column. Ideally I'd like to simply enter the additional verses in raw text, and have lilypond figure out how to place them, for instance by looking at blank lines (separating verses) which in case of 5 additional verses should be like this (centered):

2. this is          4. this is
   verse two           verse four

3. this is          5. this is
   verse three         verse five

           6. this is
              verse six

If the lines are too long it should be printed like this (centered):

2. this is verse two
   with a looong line

3. this is verse three
   with a looong line

4. this is verse four
   with a looong line

5. this is verse five
   with a looong line

6. this is verse six
   with a looong line

I hope my questions are clear, and sorry if I overlooked it in the manual.
