Pushing things further, I found that the removed third is not obvious in Cb5 below, but more seriously perhaps, that the removed C root leads to a G chord being displayed:
Don’t know whether this is correct or not, though.
\version "2.19.65"
PartPOneVoiceOne = \relative a' {
\clef "treble" \key c \major \time 4/4 | % 1
a4 a a
\bar "|."
}
PartPOneVoiceOneChords = \chordmode {
| % 1
c4:maj7.11+ c4:5.5-^3 c4:5.6-^1
\bar "|."
}

Hello Harm and Knut,
Thanks for your answers.
I know how to customize chord names, but I’m surprised that ':maj7.11+’ leads to ‘lyd' while ':maj7.11’ is handled alright.
What does ‘lyd’ mean BTW?
