I have no idea what you’re talking about. { c4 } does not print a ‘4’, 
nor the letter ‘c’. It would appear that your ‘ordinary user’ hasn’t 
understood the way LilyPond code works. Sorry if I’m just getting you 
totally wrong, but from where do you get the idea that a chord symbol 
that should appear as roughly Gm7(b5)/7 should have to be input in 
exactly that way? Even with non-semantic markup you’d need at least 
something like
\markup { Gm7 \super { 7 \concat { \flat 5 } } /7 }
, and that does not take care of the size of the flat, nor of kerning.
I’m puzzled.

Best, Simon
