You don't have to do this for major sevenths- just include the following within
your ChordNames context:
\context ChordNames = "Chords" {
\set majorSevenSymbol = "maj7"
...
}
What I do for other chord exceptions is put them all in one big file and
include that file in all my scores.
I suppose that doesn't work if you have different interpretations of chord
names for the same chord in
different pieces, but doing this once will save you a lot of hassle. And
saving you hassle is one of
Lilypond's strongest features.
