I do not know how to set things up to use the alternate jazz chord naming system.

Notation p 392 "An alternate jazz chord system has been developed using these modifications. "

The snippet shows what I am doing now.

But the 2nd and 4th chord names are using the Ignatzek name. I want the alternative names per the chart in Notation on page 607

How do I do that?

I have a file called…

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/ly/AccordsJazzDefs.ly

…in my Mac installation of LilyPond, and I \include it near the beginning of the file to get the alternative jazz chord names.

I can’t remember where I got it now, but no doubt Google would help.
