In your example, what you are wanting to do is non-standard  
nomenclature.  "C/F" is the normal way to write a slash chord with  
all the characters being the same size.  "ConF" is going to confuse  
the heck out of people trying to play your music, although if you are  
the only one that is going to be using your music then you can  
certainly do whatever you want.

You seem to be wanting to write the bass note as a subscript or  
superscript.  You'd maybe be able to do this by creating a "chord  
exceptions" file defining this and then /include in your .ly file to  
get the results you desire.

Good luck!
