This is described in the documentation.  See the Notation Reference for
version 2.11, section 2.7.2 Displaying Chords under the subsection
Customizing chord names.

Here's a sample:

%%% Start code
chExceptionMusic = {
  <c ees ges bes>1-\markup { \concat { "m7(" \smaller {\flat} "5)"} }
}

chExceptions = #(append
    (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
    ignatzekExceptions)

<<
   \new ChordNames {
     \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
     \chordmode {
     c1:m7.5-
    }
   }
   \new Staff {
     \chordmode {
       c1:m7.5-
     }
   }
>>

%%% End code

HTH,
