Read the related doc sections — although not perfect, they're pretty  
clear.
If you see a way to make them even more clear, suggest it to the doc  
team.

Here's an example of using the slashed-6 as a chord name.

\version "2.12"
\include "english.ly"

chExceptionMusic = {
  <c e g bf>-\markup { \raise #1 \teeny \slashed-digit #6 }
}
chExceptions = #( append
  ( sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
  ignatzekExceptions)

\score
{
        \new ChordNames \chordmode { c1:7 }
        \layout
        {
                \context
                {
                        \Score
                        chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
                }
        }
}

HTH,
Kieren.
