Subject: How to write this chord in Roemer?

Now I have this chord in the fake book that I don't know how to write ? D7b9 in Roemer.
Here is the snippet but it gives me the wrong chord name.

jazzChords = \chordmode {
...

        \alternative {
...

                { ef af  | ef  d4:7-9 g:7 }
        }
}

It prints Db 7 9: this is not the chord which is a D Dominant 7 + a flat 9th.
I''ve tried several different things with no success including looking at Roemer book.
Any suggestions?

I don't think this is a Roemer issue, but instead is just general lilypond chord syntax.
Have you tried adding a period in between the 7 and the -9?  Like this:

d4:7.-9
