You might have a look in the NR, section A.11 ‘Available markup 
commands’, or D ‘LilyPond command index’.
For some more hints see below…

How about:

jazzChords-markups = {
  <c e gs bf df' fs'>-\markup
  \concat {
    "7"
    \parenthesize
    \raise #2
    \fontsize #-5
    \center-column {
      \concat { \chordSharp "11" }
      \concat { \chordFlat "9" }
      \concat { \chordSharp "5" }
    }
  }
}

Note the effect of sensible code formatting – it can’t be emphasised 
often enough…

Yours, Simon
