I think others have pointed out that slashes should ONLY used to
indicate bass notes. However, the Lilypond chord scheme ignores this
(as well as using a chord notation system that is completely
unfamiliar to most modern jazz instrumentalists).
I think many people find it frustrating that it's impossible to use
Lilypond to typeset lead sheets without specifying a huge list of
exceptions each time.
I don't know where Lilypond got its chord notation from; it looks
nothing like any system I've seen in any real book.
