Typesetting chord symbols

Hi,

I was quite surprised to find hardly any information on typesetting of
chord symbols.

For example, assuming c-sharp, we have the C and the sharp. The sharp
follows the C, but should it be aligned? Top or bottom? How big should it
be compared to the C? And where to put m (minor) - (minor)? +
(augmented) 0 (dim) and ø (half dim)? Where to put Δ 6 7 9 and so on?

I know the way LilyPond does it, but I'm sure there are (many?)
more conventions (standards) for typesetting chord symbols. 

Can you point me to some (internet accessible) standard documents on this
topic?

Thanks,
        Johan
