I added the "slash" notehead-type for exactly that purpose. (1.3.138, I
think)
I think that setting noteheadtype slash together with setting
squashpitches will give you something very close to what you want.
I know that currently there are problems with the stem attachment angle
on slash-noteheads, but that will probably be fixed soon.

Yeah, and while we are at it:
The maj7-triangle should not be typeset in upper case. And the maj9
triangle is left out in my version (i.e. it typesets maj9 instead of
triangle 9)
