There is a way to customize this. Someone else may give us a better
answer but I have just chosen to live with the triangles for now.
Triangles are certainly an accepted jazz symbol for Maj7.

The notation is easy: e:min7.5- Unfortunately it is printed as a
half-diminished chord with a small circle with a slash through it.

There is:
\property ChordNames.ChordName \override #'style = #'jazz
but it doesn't give what you want.
To customize chord name printing see:

<cid:part1.01070303.00020302@ultrasw.com>
and follow the example carefully.
