Exactly, how do I write a chordname exception for a Half Diminished 7th?

\version "2.17.24"

chordException = {

  <c es ges bes>-\markup { \super "m7b9" }

}

  

chExceptions = #( append

                   ( sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chordException #t )

                   ignatzekExceptions

                   )

\new ChordNames {

  <c es ges bes>    

  \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions

  <c es ges bes>

}

See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/displaying-chords (Customizing chord names)

I can provide an example if needed.

I am confused as well.  I don't understand his code in terms of his question because c4:7.9- is not a half-diminished chord, it is an altered chord that should print as C7b9.

The default rendering of a C half-diminished chord of c4:min7.5- in LilyPond, at least prior to 2.17, would be Cø and my guess is that he wants it printed as Cmin7b5 or C-7b5.  To achieve that the OP needs to write a chordname exception.
