Clearly maj7.5- is *not* a minor-major seventh chord so that's a good 
catch.

The syntax that seems most logical to me is to call it what it is:  a 
minor triad with an added major seventh rather than a major seventh with 
a lowered third:  m7.7+ which is what I use in my .ly files (I am using 
an \include chord exceptions file, though, so I don't know offhand if 
m7.7+ will produce the desired result with LilyPond's defaults.

BTW it would also be more likely to find a maj7.11+ rather than a 
maj7.5- among jazz musicians at least.
